By default Apple Installer does an 'upgrade' - i.e. it will remove all 'old' files that were installed by the previous R version. However, you may want to keep old R since it can co-exist peacefully. In order to tell the Apple Installer to not upgrade the old version, but perform a new, clean install instead, you have to remove the receipt created by the previous install. Apple Installer keeps the receipts in /Library/Receipts, so you may want to run rm -rf /Library/Receipts/R-Framework* This is discussed in the R for Mac FAQ and also in the ReadMe of the R package which is displayed during the installation.
