I am not certain to follow your reasoning, and to demonstrate by the 
example I just opened a quartz interactive device, and made plots in it, 
with the following install:
- OS X Leopard
- Python 2.6 (from MacPorts)
- R 2.10 (from CRAN, that's a Framework build)
- rpy2 (compiled from source)

PS: You may want to consider having a look at the respective manuals for 
R and rpy2 about how to make plots
