R/Cocoa bridge is what the R for Mac OS X GUI is built upon (just grab  
the sources and look at REngine). However, it's not perfect (its main  
purpose was to support the GUI - it may need some de-coupling - see  
also the "stand-alone-REngine" branch) and there is an ongoing project  
to get write a more general bridge as part of the Mac GUI 2.x  
initiative. There are also other alternatives, but I'm not sure how  
public or currently maintained they are these days.

Cheers,
Simon
