I tried this also. It appears that the required lib is in
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib rather than
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/Frameworks.
You can either make a symbolic link from lib to Frameworks or issue the
following command (all in one line):
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/config/PantherPythonFix/run-gcc
-Wl,-F. -Wl,-F. -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup
build/temp.darwin-7.9.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/src/rpymodule.o
build/temp.darwin-7.9.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/src/R_eval.o
build/temp.darwin-7.9.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/src/io.o
-L/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib -lR -o
build/lib.darwin-7.9.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/_rpy.so 

and redo the python setup.py install afterwards.
