As you can understand from the comments in the /bin/sh: tar thread,
you cannot expect Aquamacs to pick up environment variables you set
inside Terminal / xterm.
The - by far - easiest way for you to proceed is to set the
environment variables inside R using Sys.putenv, and place everything
in .Rprofile
So do the following:
create ~/.Rprofile with the content
Sys.putenv(DISPLAY = ":0.0")
(I think the colon has to be there, but I may be a bit rusty in my
DISPLAY syntax, so check out the right syntax online. You can check
whether it works by doing
Sys.getenv("DISPLAY")
inside of R.)
You need to start the X11 server manually.
You could also have used .Renviron, but (unfortunately) that file is
not parsed when you execute R CMD BATCH, so personally I don't like
using it.

FAQ
export DISPLAY=0.0
then I checked to see if aquamacs recognized to use x11 (I don't
remember the exact command right now) and it returned nil. So, how do
I get aquamacs to interface with x11.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
