Fink seems to be working mostly fine on Mac Intel with some 4793 packages available. The maintainers have done a great job and must be thanked. Some  packages like g77 do not compile and packages like scipy and scilab that depend on g77 cannot be installed using fink. There is no Fortran compiler with the MacOS Xtools, but the gfortran compiler at http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ that installs into /usr/local seems to work well  also for Fortran 77 and Fortran programs runs 4.5 times faster on my MacBook Pro than on my old G4 Titanium. The MacOS 10.4 version of Scilab 4.0 also works for Mac Intel and Mupad works as well. Good luck ______________________________ Chad W.
