Dear Simon,

thanks a lot for helping. Here is what I could figure out:
(1) the installation of macports created the following line in .profile:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
(2) I'm sure I had other stuff in .profile -- apparently they got overwritten 
by macports (seems nasty)
(3) (1) caused the opt-paths to appear in PATH
(4) I changed it to 
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin
(5) then I executed:
R CMD INSTALL rgl

This gave:
