I have fink 10.4-transitional running, however I'm experiencing issues
with perl packages which appear to trace back to the lack of a virtual
package to represent /usr/bin/perl version 5.8.6 as shipped with Tiger.

No such lack here.

I've found references in the recent "Autoconf 2.5 on Tiger" thread on
fink-devel about using /sw/sbin/update-alternatives as a workaround.

That was a completely different issue, arising only after you remove a fink-installed perl package and fall back on the system perl.


Are there plans to provide a virtual perl586-core package soon?

It has been there all the time. If you don't have it, your fink isn't yet fully Tiger-aware. What version of fink do you have?
