R: Remove GCC Dependencies

Description
I might be wrong, but with MP's behavior re: compilers, the dependency on gcc48 doesn't actually go anything, right? The system's clang gets used. If I actually want GCC, I'd use something like configure.cc=gcc configure.cxx=g++. If this is right?

I didn't realize gfortran was coming in through gcc. That's right. Thanks for that pointer. That said "Ports will choose them correctly for you." isn't quite true, but that's a separate issue.

No. Users are not meant to manually change configure.compiler, configure.cc or similar. Ports will choose them correctly for you. In the case of R, it requires a Fortran compiler, which Xcode does not provide but gcc48 does. If you want to use a different gcc port's Fortran compiler instead, there are variants available.
