Yes, and for Debian and Debian-derived distributions, doing
$ sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
will get all the required dependencies for R and most R packages, incl. X11
headers.
But then again, as the R FAQ shows, there are also contributed binary
packages of R itself so you don't really need to compile yourself.
