is there any way (a command o environment variable) to have the
bioconductor version?
as for R is
R.Version()
R.version
R.version.string
???

There is some room for confusion here so I will try to explain a
bit...
Bioconductor is made up of primarily contributed packages, each with
its own version number. You can determine the version of any
particular package you have installed using the package.version()
function that Ido pointed out above.
Every six months, we release an update to all Bioconductor packages
just after the release of a new version of R. These releases ensure
compatibility with the latest R version and give Bioc developers a
chance to make new features they've added in the devel version as
bug-free as possible and ready for end-users.
Each Bioconductor release has a version number, the current released
version is 1.7, we are working on the 1.8 release for the end of
April/beginning of May.
