I have read the R manuals. I have looked at R's configure script. I looked at the source of the cairoDevice package and the vimcom package. And decided that what the OP had made would not work on Mac OS X. Which I demonstrated. The OP will have to look at the relevant sections of R's configure script. Very clever but too difficult for me. I will happily test for the OP to see if the package will install out of the box. And not more than that.
