Sourceforge has been sitting on these messages for 4 days. []
These builds (from source) generally take many hours on my machine, so there is a big premium in completing a partial build rather than trying it again from scratch.
Well, package managing systems such as rpm or dpkg or fink go to great lengths to assure correctness of the packages that they install. What you are trying to do is contrary to this aim and therefore not supported. It is a safe bet that the time you might gain by resuming a crashed build is far smaller than the time you will spend afterwards with debugging incomplete builds and wrong installs.

What SHOULD I do to resume and complete the building of a deb package
if I complete a partial build in the source directory /sw/src/pkgname/xxxx
It just cannot be done. What you can do instead is install ccache and ccache-default. This will considerably speed up repeated builds for many packages.
If I HAVE done a `hand install' (via a 'make install' in the src directory), how can I get fink to acknowledge the new versions I've installed?
You can't.
