Hi Joseph, For what it is worth (which might not be that much!), I have written down step by step instructions on my website for getting 64 bit R working under Leopard - it should be much different with Tiger: http://www.matthewckeller.com/html/64_bit_r_on_mac.html. I think it'll work but there may be some mistakes in there. I'd be happy to take suggestions...
