First of all, I highly recommend the MacVim port of Vim (not to be confused with macvim.org). You can get the latest version (7.3.53 at time of post) at github:

The Vim-R-plugin that Michal mentioned works on OS X with the Screen plugin as well. However, a simpler method is to use one of the following two OS X specific scripts that rely on AppleScript.

R.vim
R.vim uses AppleScript to send selected lines of code to an R buffer. Simply hit to run the selected lines in R. If R is not open, it will automatically open a new session. Note that it opens R.app instead of R64.app so if you need to run the 64-bit version you’ll have to tinker with the script a bit.

R-MacOSX
R-MacOSX is also pretty straight forward, although I couldn’t get it working properly. It defaults to to run selected lines and to source the entire file.

In either case, key mappings are customizable but personally, I have no trouble with to execute code using R.vim. Neither are as full-featured as Vim-R-plugin but I find them sufficient as all I really need is to send blocks of code to R.
