I just have realized that you use the wrong parameter: You are
pointing to the crafty binary instead it's directory. Well, RTFM. :-)

>From "man xboard":

       To  use  Crafty with XBoard, give the -fcp and -fd options
       as follows, where crafty's-directory is the  directory  in
       which  you  installed Crafty and placed its book and other
       support files.

           xboard -fcp crafty -fd crafty's-directory

Therefore you need to use with a standard fink installation:

        xboard -fcp crafty -fd /sw/lib/crafty
                                   ^^^
This will work.
