Actually, I was installing things like gnumeric and gimp, which are available in binary, I just wasn't getting an option to install them via binary package. A previous response on this list helped me to "fix" apt-get.
The commands that did it were:
fink selfupdate apt-get update apt-get install X
this also fixed the binary option when I reopened fink.
