Hey Branden, This http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/149451/install-r-in-my-own-directory has some basic steps, but the gist is to compile it from scratch (good compile options in the homebrew recipe for R https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/blob/master/r.rb ).
I'd highly suggest getting an admin-assisted install of official/base R. It'll only be a couple of times a year for updates but worth it for the stability factor. You can then have all package installs be relative to your local dir. But you'll still need the OS X dev tools installed for non-binary packages that need compilation, so you should also probably get that admin-assisted installed as well. -Bob On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 9:12 AM, Branden R.
