I can reproduce this without portmaster.  The pcre ABI changed with
pcre 8.30, and R may need to be patched in order to use it -- or there
may be a problem with the pcre port.  I will look into this.  In the
meantime, you will probably be able to build R by selecting
WITHOUT_PCRE_PORT, so that the version of pcre that is bundled with R
is used, rather than devel/pcre.

Thank you for reporting the problem.  However, in the future, if you
believe there is a problem with R, please send a message directly to
me (the port maintainer, bf at FreeBSD.org), so that I will see it
sooner.
