If you already have a downloaded package (and are sure it is the
correct
version for the version of R/BioC that you are using), then biocLite()
is not the correct function. Instead you want
install.packages("packagename", repos=NULL)
Note that the package has to be in the current working directory or
you
have to supply the path.

Not sure about that one. I don't use the binaries on my Mac. However I
would assume that install.packages() cares very little if the binary
is
zipped or not.

The example about "update.packages" on
http://www.bioconductor.org/docs/install-howto.html
can probably be modified as follows:
download.packages("hgu133a", repos=biocinstallRepos())

That might be more a question for a mac-users' forum ;-)

It depends. On Microsoft Windows, by default it installs .zip files I
suspect, and when Mac binaries will be available, it will install
them.
