Yes, the problems were only with R packages and only after I moved
entire sage folder.  I did not want it into my temporary downloads
location...  The problem was with hard-coded paths, not the
permissions.  Anyway, the fix was easy.  I opened all the files listed
above by George:

sage/local/lib/R/bin/R
sage/local/lib/R/bin/libtool
sage/local/lib/R/etc/Makeconf
sage/local/lib/R/etc/ldpath
sage/local/lib/R/etc/Renviron
sage/local/bin/R

and edited obvious lines containing hardcoded paths (using find-
replace-all at once).  I think it is relatively easy for general
distribution of Sage compiled for Mac write a post-installation script
fixing these lines, in assumption that final destination will be of /
Applications/Sage.app type.

Agree, but I have more Linux experience, than Mac.  I just started to
work with Mac and do not know how to convert compiled program into
proper .app application, therefore /usr/local/ was a prefered option
for me.
