Yes, it'd be easy as R doesn't need any patches, but there is a problem. Unless you're building with ss12/ssexpress, you'll need ATLAS or at least some rudimentary blas library (I think R includes one). Using the rudimentary ones won't give expected performance though.
So I think, first some work would be needed to get ATLAS compile. Last time I compiled it I gave up. Just one pass takes hours!! (before it choked on something) never mind fixing what doesn't work. It might be better if we can just provide ready made CPU specific packages.
