I don't think that is implied on Simon's R website. The context of the statement is building universal packages for the R statistical software system.
Within that context the compiler inter-works with the latest set of Xcode tools to build a package (if the package includes Fortran in addition to C/C++). These packages are then installed in R's library and after loading into R, methods in the package can be called from R. I think it is the install step of both packages and R/R.app that makes sure the matching architecture is chosen. Most packages are available in binary, universal form (and include both binaries), but installing a package from source will pass the correct architecture flag.
