If you go to

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gnucash2

and search for the gnucash2 package, you'll be redirected to

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gnucash2

which will show you the the various combinations of OS X version,  
'architecture', and stable vs. unstable.

Please note that:

* The stable tree, whose packages tend to be older than those in the  
unstable tree, has been verified with regard to successful builds on  
10.6. Therefore if in the PDB there's no version number in the stable  
column for 10.6/i386 or 10.6/x86_64 then the package is known not to  
build on 10.6/i386 or 10.6/x86_64.

* The unstable tree hasn't been completely verified. This means that  
the fact that a version number is shown on the unstable column and  
10.6 rows doesn't imply that the package actually builds on 10.6.

For the next weeks, only packages in stable that are available on 10.6/ 
i386 or 10.6/x86_64 can be expected to build. This doesn't mean that  
packages in unstable won't build, only that they might not. There are  
some cases where a package in stable doesn't build but it builds in  
unstable because unstable tends to have more recent versions.

As for gnucash2 in particular, there is a report from a user that  
managed to build it on 10.6/x86_64 after some adversities with the  
fontconfig library:
