TeXShop understands Rnw files. Be sure to use 2.10beta8, since the  
list of editable file types was truncated in earlier beta versions.  
The extension needs to be "Rnw" rather than "rnw". If you create such  
a file in TeXShop (rather than just opening one), use the pulldown  
menu at the bottom of the save panel to pick the correct extension  
when saving.

The following short engine file will call Sweave and thus typeset in  
one step. Recall that the execution bit must be set when this engine  
is added to ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines. I recommend directly copying  
the fourth line, with its complicated mixture of single and double  
quotes.
