Am I mistaken that /sw/etc/profile ought to use "." instead of "source"
Yes, you are. Contrary to common misconception, "source" is a perfectly legal bash command. It is entirely equivalent to "." (and much less error-prone).
in this case (since bash is the default shell)? Or maybe it is only intended to work for tcsh?
This won't work for tcsh, it is a bash script.
I'm not sure what the second script is intended to do,
You might want to read the documentation, in this case /sw/share/doc/bash/README.Fink
What this does is (like the corresponding tcsh setup from the good old days of Mac OSX 10.1 when Apple still tried to be user-friendly for Unix geeks) to supersede the standard ~/.* files by files in ~/Library/init. The automatic Fink pathsetup will not work in this case; you'll have to configure all by hand.
