| Yes. If you set an environment variable R_PDFVIEWER to the full name

Not to beat the issue to death, but one also can
i) set
options(pdfviewer="kpdf")
(or "kghostview") in either a running R session, or your ~/.Rprofile
or the global Rprofile.site
ii) set the R_PDFVIEWER environment variable somewhere before R gets started;
choices would be ~/.profile or /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc or
~/.bashrc; adapt accordingly for your local shell.
I like i) -- using ~/.Rprofile seems natural to me. YMMV.
