Does that mean that I'll have to remove fink from path every time when
I'll want to use TeX provided by the system?

I wouldn't have any objections as long as someone could guarantee me
that the TeX provided by fink would be based at least on TeXLive2006,
would include XeTeX and the possibility to use the latest ConTeXt.

I don't want fink's executables to have precedence over i-Installer's
ones since fink's version will probably remain behind time. Most LaTeX
users don't ever notice that, but ConTeXt users probably do.

(I had to install "system-tetex" just because there was some strange
dependency stating that gnuplot needed kpathsea headers, but outside
of fink I managed to compile gnuplot without any problems.)
