First, please make sure you upgrade at least to R 3.1.2 since pervious version are not fully Yosemite-compatible.
Second, the hack you're mentioning is not necessary if you installed the correct R version, so make sure you have downloaded the Mavericks/Yosemite build. Third, please check that you don't have 3rd-party libraries installed that would conflict with R or XQuartz. R itself doesn't link to libcairo.2.dylib, so that missing dependency likely comes from some 3rd party library that gets loaded instead of the correct ones. If in doubt, rename /usr/local to something else to verify if erroneous libraries there are breaking your system.
