Actually, more fiddling reveals that fink probably needs to be rewritten to port to another platform at all (and I'm not going to advocate this, at least not on fink's own mailing list :-] ). There is a lot of hard coded assumptions (in fink's perlmod) about a system that I ended up vandalizing a lot of code just to try on Solaris. These assumptions probably deserve to be abstracted away from the code.
That said, on a Mac OS X system, I'm perfectly happy with the way Fink is. I only wish it would be a drop in package management solution for commercial *nix not limited to Mac OS X if Fink can be more generic.

It's true: during bootstrap, fink moves files to the same place they already are, when there is a splitoff. The /bin/mv available on OS X tolerates this; apparently the /bin/mv on Solaris does not. Look at "man mv": is there any flag you could pass to mv to let it do this?
