My first thought was something analogous to this:
yes|fink update-all
and my second thought was, "oh, yeah, fink has that":
fink -y update-all
and my third, "oops--mirror selection isn't a yes/no question!" ;-)

OTOH, it's not pretty, but you could do this:
/usr/bin/yes ''|fink update-all
as long as you're sure that the defaults are all okay.
