As David noted, it's been de-CRAN'd for pushing some check times a bit far.
This means you'll likely need to build it from source, which home brew won't
help with (well, much beyond what 'regular' R does)
Try
install.packages("Rmpi")
to see what happens. MPI isn't the easiest build in the world so I'd imagine it
will fail, but this will at least give us a sense of how your environment is
configured.
Needless to say: if you haven't got the compilers and command line tools
available from XCode (the ones used to build R) do that first or you have no
hope ;-)
