Why bother with Mac port when R ppl have native mac gui?

Does Macports have a port for the GUI for R, the statistical computing

GUI
(not necessarily R) that is invoked by double-clicking on an icon?
My inability to use the port search facility efficiently became
evident on
this issue, since my search for the R-gui failed miserably. "port
search R"
brings in every port with an r in its name. "man port" advertises
that one
can use regular expressions in the search, but fails to point to a
particular set of regular expressions, ignoring the fact that there
are many
"standard" collections of basic regular expressions, each likely to
have a
different way of indicating word boundaries. I tried
port search "\<R\>" and also port search "\bR\b",
and was told there are no matches, even through "port info R works".
Nor
could I figure out how to make the matching case-sensitive.
So, if anyone can give me a hint on port search regular expressions,
that
would be helpful.
Thanks
David
