You would need need to hack the system-tetex package description
locally to look  in the proper places for the items that it's
complaining about.

I'd recommend copying
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/text/system-tetex.info into your
local/finkinfo tree and modifying the local one to avoid having Fink
clobber it.
