Okay, a slight revision. 'make install' works fine when I build from the alpha tarballs (at least today's tarball works). The error only occurs when I build from SVN sources, both when builddir == srcdir and when the build dir is a separate directory.
Yes, that is intentional. You are not supposed to be able to build from the SVN sources without a working makeinfo: R-admin says under `Essential Programs'
If you want to build from the R Subversion repository you need Perl,
@command{makeinfo} and @command{pdflatex}.which seems unequivocal to me.

When I build R-devel (or the alpha snapshots) on a system without makeinfo >= 4.7, I get a warning about not being able to build HTML/Info help pages after running 'configure' (but 'make' runs smoothly and there are no errors). However, when I run 'make install' I get an error, something like

Am I correct in assuming that I get this because I don't have the correct makeinfo version?
No. The intention is that file should be in the tarball. It seems to be. Are you using builddir == srcdir or not? Both seem to work for me.
The line
creating doc/html/resources.html
should not occur when building from a tarball, as it comes from
@if test ! -f "$(srcdir)/resources.html" || test -f non-tarball ; then \
(cd ../manual && $(MAKE) html-non-svn) ; \
touch non-tarball ; \
Have you perchance previously built from an SVN checkout in the same dir?
If so, is this the intended behavior of 'make install'? I figured I should be able to install R even if I couldn't build the HTML/Info help pages, but....
If building from a tarball, yes. The requirements for building from an SVN checkout are more stringent.
