You can export an R_LIBS environment variable from your shell.  Since
I often have at least two versions of R and like to keep the packages
separate, I create a wrapper for each R that looks something like:

#!/bin/bash

export R_LIBS=/Users/seth/RLIB-2.3
/Users/seth/proj/builds/R-2.3/bin/R "$@"

Then R-2.3 CMD INSTALL/check/REMOVE all act on the appropriate
library.
