"fink cleanup" will help in that direction:  it will remove source  
tarballs that don't correspond to current package versions, as well  
as .deb archives that aren't for current packages.

It won't remove sources or .deb archives that do correspond to current  
versions of packages that you don't have installed, however.  But if  
you're really in need of space, anything in /sw/src can be removed,  
and so can any .deb archives (though that can result in some confusion  
for fink--it's easily remedied, though).
