Fink does handle this. In fact, the app-defaults package was created
precisely for this purpose, and xfig depends on it. In particular, the
app-defaults package sets the XAPPLRESDIR environment variable to
/sw/etc/app-defaults/ where xfig stores its app-defaults files.

Did you run "source /sw/bin/init.csh" after you installed xfig? The
solution of your problem might be as easy as that.
