I confirm this bug.

Looks to me like a case of bit-rot in the (unmaintained?) packages 
librep and rep-gtk.

librep puts things into /sw/lib/rep/powerpc-apple-darwin and has this 
also hardwired in the /sw/bin/rep-config script (try "rep-config 
--execdir").
rep-gtk, OTOH, puts similar things into /sw/libexec/rep/powerpc-apple-darwin

If you modify your stable/main/finkinfo/languages/librep-0.14-6.info (or 
the corresponding one in unstable if you use unstable) as follows:

replace in the ConfigureParams: line the --libexecdir='${prefix}/lib' by
--libexecdir='${prefix}/libexec'

and rebuild librep, then sawfish will compile.

I don't know anything about the rep language and rep-gtk, so I don't 
know if this is a reasonable patch, but it seems to work for this case.
(/sw/libexec is illegal, isn't it?)
