"fink selfupdate-cvs" It's already there. All essential packages (including Fink) are automaticall updated if you run it Also, binary distro doesn't involve the Fink package manager at all, hence such a field as you propose wouldn't do anything with regards to the bindist. And there is no need for it either, since the "new binaries" work fine with the "old" package manager.
