Richard, thanks - finally a more complete output to go on. This is exactly the reminder why it is so important to post the _full_output - the actual facts were completely missing from your previous report.
Firstly, the xcrun output is just a warning which indicates that R can't find out whether you have XQuartz installed or not. It also shows that your Xcode/command line tools are broken. That in itself is not a problem as long as you don't intend to compile packages - but probably you should look into it. But more importantly your XQuartz doesn't work - or at least is not running at the time you are trying to run X11() in R. Make sure you start XQuartz first (from Applications -> Utilities) and it works. If in doubt, you can wipe it (it lives in /opt/X11) and re-install. Either way, neither seems to be an R issue per se.
