R is not intended to be multilib clean as it is currently. The docfile conflicts can be fixed, but /usr/bin/R... that is a generated file (original is src/scripts/R.sh.in), and it inserts a value for R_HOME_DIR that is architecture specific (contains %{_libdir})... changing that to be multilib clean would require changes at the upstream level. If that is something you really want, you should open a ticket with upstream R (preferably with a patch to make src/scripts/R.sh.in multilib compatible). Closing CANTFIX.
