An easier way is to drag the icon for X11 onto the dock and then
customise
the menu for that (there is an option if you right click on the
icon to
add extra items to the menu - just add /sw/bin/whatever to it).
I've also done that too for other stuff like KStars.

Is it possible to create links/ aliases for terminal commands, like
to fink, and put them in the OS X dock? Fink Commander, I believe is
a Cocoa GUI for Fink? I was thinking of certain Fink commands (like
'fink self-update) or other terminal commands that are run on a
regular basis like in my case 'open-x11 stardict'. I could imagine
that it could be used for opening up OpenOffice.org and other X11
programs as well.

XDroplets is another option to generate clickable .app files. It's
less versatile than Platypus, but works well to generate apps "on the
fly" if you know the command to run, the arguments to pass,
environment variables to set, etc.
And by the way, Fink's OpenOffice.org comes with a clickable .app (in
/sw/Applications and symlinked in /Applications/Fink)

Thanks. BTW in reference to OpenOffice.org's listing on the Fink
site, it states that there are no binary distributions present. I
assume that means that Fink downloads it as source. Does it compile
it automatically like I experienced when I had to download libs for
StarDict yesterday or do you have to pass arguments when it is a
single source package that isn't being controlled by an install
script for another package?
Cheers,
Brian
