Unfortunately, Spotlight only understands files, so just extracting info from fink won't work. That's why iCal has to create a folder full of files, one for each event, so Spotlight can index them even though iCal actually uses a database. Besides, running fink (which would also bring in perl) would likely slow down indexing a lot.
I guess each iCal DB entry has a file associated with it which resides in the Cache folder and points to the entry in the database. Hence, Spotlight works for iCal even if it does not understand DBs.
