Yes, I encountered exactly the same problem myself today; I already let the package maintainer know off-line.
I apologize for not offering a solution; this level of mac/fink software is not my expertise at all.
For a workaround, you can remove transfig and then replace it with
transfig323. This should get you a working copy of fig2dev. If you run
into dependency problems (because xfig requires transfig), then you can
use the following command to remove transfig:
sudo dpkg --force-depends -r transfig
This is not a perfect solution, because then xfig has an unsatisfied
dependency. (Could someone please address that as a stop-gap, by
allowing transfig323 to satisfy xfig?) But it seems to work well enough
in practice.

"someone", of course, would have to be the package maintainer--it's not too effective to put in such requests on the general lists.
For an additional piece of information, it would be nice to know where this comes from--fig2dev works just fine on my system. I use Xorg, so it's possible that the problem is an X11-ism.
