I have this as well, and it's not a problem *under one condition*:

Fink has to be told that its root is at /sw, not at /Volumes/.../sw, 
namely in the /sw/etc/fink.conf file, the Basepath: field has to contain 
/sw, not the other "equivalent" path. The latter can happen if you do 
the configuration automatically and let fink look for this path.

So if one has such a symlink, one should make sure one has

Basepath: /sw

in /sw/etc/fink.conf.
