All (installed) fink packages are available to all users of a machine since /sw should be world readable. The only thing each individual user would need to do is run /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh once, which will modify their specific shell init scripts (like .bash_profile) so that the Fink settings are available to them when they log in.
