I've never tried it.  Here are some extra things to check:

1) Make sure the Basepath: line in fink.conf (formerly /sw/etc/fink.conf)
points at the correct directory
2) You'll have to edit init.csh (formerly /sw/bin/init.csh) because it looks
like it explicitly picks /sw as the fink directory.
3) There may be more things I haven't thought of.

Another option is to try making /sw a symbolic link to your new fink base
folder.  This is officially listed as untested.
