Rd.sty in R_HOME/share/texmf uses hyperref.sty. This is normally installed, and can be obtained from any CTAN node or mirror: see https://www.tug.org/ctan.html It also uses the standard package bm, which is part of the standard tools bundle and should be part of any reasonably recent LaTeX installation. The reference manual is made using the times fonts package. If you do not have that available, you can get it from CTAN, or set the environment variable R_RD4PDF to "". Other alternatives are discussed in the R-admin manual. You may have to increase the poolsize of your pdflatex to process the reference manual with hyperlinks, although these days the limits are set high. pdftex will warn (correctly) about missing hyperlinks in forming refman.pdf. Other LaTeX engines can be used by setting the environment variable PDFLATEX (to "lualatex", for example) and R_RD4PDF to "". Rd.sty uses iftex.sty to detect alternative engines and skip loading fontenc.
