This has been reported to R-bugs twice already (and also on the lists):
it seems autoconf and FreeBSD are making different assumptions.
If you look in today's R-devel archive you will see the requests for
information I set on the second report.
It seems no one using FreeBSD ever tested the alphas or betas of R 2.1.0.
In the last years there were no serious problems with R on FreeBSD. So
most of us FreeBSD users never had to test alphas and betas :-)
But you are right, we should test them from now on, thank you for this
advice.

I downloaded the latest R-2.1.0 tarball from cran (the one of 18/4/05) to
compile it under FreeBSD. Take into account that I compiled R-2.0.1 in
the
same machine and OS like a charme, flawlessly and at the very fiirst
shot.
Now with R-2.1.0, ./configure doesn't seem to say anything alarming but
make stops. Here an extract of both ./configure and make:
# ./configure

External libraries: readline, BLAS(ATLAS)

configure: WARNING: you cannot build info or html versions of the R
manuals
The last problem, reported by the configure script, has a solution:
To build the html and info versions of the R manuals you need at least
Makeinfo 4.7. In FreeBSD6-CURRENT there had been an update a few days
ago from Makeinfo 4.6 to 4.8. For other versions of FreeBSD (including
5.4) you can install a new version via the ports system (print/texinfo).
