Probably. What exactly do you have installed now? Could you download the little script http://perso.wanadoo.fr/costabel/fink-x11-debug and run it as "perl fink-x11-debug"?
Sure. Here's the output: === TCNJ-97-131:~/Desktop depasqua$ perl fink-x11-debug OS X version: 10.3.3 Darwin version: 7.3.0 fink package manager version: 0.18.3 Fink distribution version: 0.7.0.cvs Fink updated from: rsync

It's rather distressing to think that I can't get tetex running on my mac, and that perhaps I should just punt back to my Apple installed X11 software and use xterm from a Linux box to do my latex work.
It is, of course, completely unacceptable. I would never use a Mac if I couldn't run tetex on it. I am sure if you fix your X11 installation, you will have no problem installing tetex. BTW, you could also install it from the binary distribution. The new bindist has the tetex-2.0.2-34 packages.
