Yup. It is all system packages. In fact R and its dependencies
are not part of the sage-on-gentoo “repo”.
Also in Gentoo we don’t usually split things in $package and
$package-devel you get the nice libraries for linking and headers.

The headers and stuff in $package-devel is the sticky point
when requiring $package from the host distro.
You most certainly will have curl, openssl, xz and pcre installed.
And equally unless you chose a “develop” configuration you’ll
have very few of the necessary devel packages. Which is a problem 
for anyone without admin access on their machines. Mind you
some compiler requirements may now enter the same category,
we do have messages from people who have a C compiler but
didn’t install a C++ one from time to time.

Ideally for those in particular it would be best to go with your
distro in my opinion. How many people have a linux box without
some kind of admin access?
