I've noticed that /sw/bin/latex is symlinked to pdfetex, which means that

I don't see why this should happen. I'm running tetex-base-3.0-1, and
when I run "latex" on a .tex file (which actually runs pdfetex, as you
pointed out), I get .dvi output, not .pdf. Are you sure you're actually
running latex and not pdflatex?
The default behavior is to produce dvi output, but it has been observed
that for some people this doesn't work as it should. There were long
discussions about this a couple of months ago on the users list:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.general/17602
and on a related isssue
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.general/17645
The main source for the problem is that old config files from a previous
tex installation can interfere with the installation of a new tetex
package.
