Better advice is in the manual, at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#OS-X (although there is no guarantee that all of the binary packages will work with 10.7, many of them will). And for PCRE, at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Essential-programs-and-libraries .

Thanks to David advice I was able to overcome the lzma problem compiling the xz 
package downloaded from the suggested site.
Now my R 3.3.1 configure process is stuck to another point:
./configure
..................
checking pcre.h usability... yes
checking pcre.h presence... yes
checking for pcre.h... yes
checking pcre/pcre.h usability... no
checking pcre/pcre.h presence... no
checking for pcre/pcre.h... no
checking if PCRE version >= 8.10, < 10.0 and has UTF-8 support... no
checking whether PCRE support suffices... configure: error: pcre >= 8.10 
library and headers are required
..............

Even though I downloaded and successfully installed the pcre-8.36.tar.bz2 file 
from the same http://r.research.att.com/src/ site (in /usr/local/include I can 
see the freshly installed pcre.h file).

How can I solve the problem ?

I'm trying for the first time to compile R 3.3.1 on my old macbook with 10.7.5.
Among other things I have already successfully installed the xz port (which 
includes lzma) from the macports collection (xz-devel is now included in xz).

The problem is that MacPorts puts its packages in a location where a standard 
installation of R will not find them. It might be easier for you to install 
from the collection provided here (at least it is for me and I'm not 
particularly facile with Unix installations)):
