No, completely different. R= is used to fake the destination. It's used 
for making tarballs/RPMs/.debs e.g.

mkdir /tmp/binary-fr
make install R=/tmp/binary-fr

...with then contain:

/tmp/binary-fr/$prefix/sbin/radiusd
/tmp/binary-fr/$prefix/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf

...but all the paths e.g. inside the config files and shared library 
rpaths will read:

$prefix/sbin/radiusd

...i.e. will ignore the R= prefix
