The way to do it is edit the .info file, e.g.

/sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/emacs21-21.3-1.info

That's where you feed in configuration options.  It's relatively
human-readable.  I'd suggest copying this file and the corresponding patch
file over to /sw/fink/10.2/local/finkinfo, and then edit the copy.

By the way, what version of the Developer Tools do you have?
