I had a directory ~/.texmf-var that contained a bunch of formats.
Does fink create that? Why in the user's home directory?
I don't think fink generally creates anything in the user's directory
on a package install.
In postinstall scripts it often does, and with bad (root) ownerships,
too. Things like ~/.qt or ~/.kde are other infamous examples.
The current tetex does it when you run fmtutil. There are two levels of
this (and of some other utilities like texconfig): fmtutil and
fmtutil-sys. The former works on a per-user level and uses ~/.texmf-var
and the latter on system level using /sw/var/lib/texmf/.
