I can only recommend using homebrew for installation of R (and everything else you need). Works perfectly for me. Just be careful not to mix up the official R packages and their dependencies (especially fortran and tcltk) with the homebrew ones - I started with the official ones and moved gradually to a full homebrew setup - and it is much easier to maintain for me. I did not have as many probles on the swithch to Yosemite as the uers of the official R version. In a nutshell: go for homebrew and you might even not have to change anything and it will install under /usr/local/ as a normal user - homebrew does not need root access for most programs.
