I don't know about that, either, but as of R and Gnumeric i know that 
Duncan was working on a  package for that:
http://www.omegahat.org/RGnumeric/
However, I didn't test it myself, but you may want to give it a shot.

I'd be very surprised if Gnumeric didn't compile on OS X - there may be 
no native port, but the X11 version should work on OS X (if in doubt, 
check fink and darwinports).
