Since there's a binary distribution now, I expect that you have
installed some of these packages from it (that's the default behavior),
and that will explain some of the issues.

There's a missing dependency.  Install gettext and you'll have that library.

It appears that in this case vim was built in the binary distribution
against a newer X11 than you have installed.  I don't recall if the
10.5.2 update brings this to an appropriate version or not , but go
ahead and update all the way to 10.5.4 if you haven't already.   If that
doesn't give you a new enough version you can either rebuild vim with
"fink rebuild vim", or you can apply the unofficial X11 update from
macosforge.org

Without quoting the error it's impossible for us to debug.

Not really relevant to Fink, but:

That sounds to me like you had Tiger's X11.app open, and then by running
"xterm" you started Leopard's X11.app .  The normal behavior on Leopard
is that if you run an X11-based application and X11 isn't already
running then it gets started.   Make sure you don't have two X11
applications. 

Does the i386 machine have an .Xdefaults that got honored?
