No, and the change will break things which currently work correctly.

Looks like this is something specific to how Macs install under the 
bin/exec directory.  It likely stems from the following line in INSTALL.

      archs=`(cd ${R_HOME}/bin/exec; ls)`

which on other systems will only contain directories for sub-architectures 
or the R or Rgnome executables, since it says

>> ** arch - Frameworks
