As I know, you have 3 choices: 1, You can apply a free educational-use-only MacPymol from the company, Schrodinger, LLC. This is the easiest way, just move the MacPymol program into your Program Folder.
2, I think you still can try to install Pymol by Fink. Just follow the wiki page of Pymol.(http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/MAC_Install). But there is a compatible problem between Fink and Lion. There is a Lion upgrade notes written by William Scott( http://sage.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Lion_upgrade_notes). Maybe it can help you. 3, If Fink doesn't work. I think you can try to use MacPorts. It looks like there is no compatible problem between MacPorts and MacOS Lion. The install process is very simple (http://www.macports.org/install.php). I found MacPorts still contain Pymol package, also include apbs plugin. But there is no other protein xtallography software packages, like CCP4 and coot. And It is impossible to install MacPorts and Fink at the same time. So If you also want install CCP4 or coot from source code, it will be very inconvenient. Best!
