You shouldn't have to move it anywhere; Sage doesn't have to live
anyplace in particular.  Is it only after you move it that you
encounter problems?    Maybe you have permission issues there?

At any rate, I install new packages fairly frequently in R on my Mac,
so it's important to clarify exactly what makes this break when you
compile Sage from source.  Thanks for any additional details you can
provide.

No, because there is no such folder by default - I doubt that many Mac
users would even know what /usr/local is, for instance.
Unfortunately, we will have to actually fix this hardcoding, which is
often a very subtle and difficult thing to track down :(
