Look at the CRAN page for polycor.
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/polycor/index.html
It lists the packages that it need functions from under the Line starting
with: Imports from:
Install all those packages (and any non-base dependencies they might have
obviously need to be installed first), then install `polycor`. It's possible
thay you may also need the Xcode and other development tools also from the same
era, since mvtnorm _does_ require compilation. That might require some digging
through Apple's archives. You probably will _not_ want to update your MacOS to
either Sierra or High Sierra. I _think_ that El Capitan would still be able to
run R 3.2.1 but I'm not sure. Subsequent problems should be referred to the
R-SIG-mac mailing list, and you should read the Posting Guide and set your mail
client (probably Mail.app) so that it sends pain text.

It really does seem that IBM ought to maintain a mirror of CRAN with binaries
from the distant past era when R 3.2 was the current version.
Best of luck, but I have my doubts about whether this will be feasible.

You don't "separate the file". You look up and install dependencies first.
