After doing what you suggested, here is what I have now:

% fink list -i svg
Information about 5043 packages read in 1 seconds.
i   librsvg2         2.9.5-11     SAX-based render library for SVG files
i   librsvg2-gtk     2.9.5-11     Enable GTK to use SVG data
i   librsvg2-shlibs  2.9.5-11     SAX-based render library for SVG files


(I added the first one later). The problem didn't get fixed after  
either of these was installed. I also tried rebuilding and  
reinstalling inkscape, without success. This is all being done on my  
Intel machine right now.
I doubt that the ksvg package should be needed... so I'm still stuck  
without SVG.
