I'm still unsure what you mean by "bridge class".

The Mac OS X install of R installs the same sort of things as any other Unix variant of R (ignoring the Aqua GUI). You should be able to treat it like any other Unix.

The binary distribution puts it all in a Mac OS framework, but that should only be a case adding /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin and friends to the normal paths you would search for R in.

One would hope that the search paths would be user configurable anyway for those who do not / cannot install R in the default location.

What am I missing? What exactly do you need to do differently on Mac OS X?
