firefox 2.0 is available from unstable currently, but the yelp-
viewer.info file (which can create yelp-viewer-firefox) hasn't been
updated to know about firefox 2.0 yet. Doesn't matter really, since
yelp is just broken at the moment and doesn't work even if you modify
yelp-viewer to accommodate firefox 2.
'pangocairo' is a complete rebuild of almost everything gnome. You
should consider it a complete, irrevocable replacement for your
current fink environment.
The pangocairo branch (aka The Great Gnome Update) is discussed at
http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Packaging:The_Great_Gnome_Update
Note the warning that if you update to the experimental state, you
can't go back without starting over!!!!!!!
Of course, the other option is to move your current fink tree
somewhere else and build a fresh fink setup for trying out what
amounts to gnome 2.20. If you move your tree first, if something goes
badly wrong with pangocairo-branch, you can blow the branch away and
retrieve your state before experimental by moving your original fink
directory back where it started.
While the pangocairo-branch has been fairly stable for me, I don't use
all that much of gnome (gnucash, gnumeric, wireshark, and few others),
so be prepared for some things not to be working completely yet. OTOH,
yelp does work for me using yelp-viewer-firefox (which uses only
firefox 2 in pangocairo) I think yelp 2.12 worked for me in the
current normal fink trees, but 2.14 has always been cranky. Yelp in
pangocairo is version 2.20.
Be careful.

Thanks for telling me this. I have yelp-viewer for seamonkey. This
only compiled recently so I could run Gnome. How do I get pangocairo
from the experimental tree? Also how do I get firefox 2.0? The
firefox 1.5 yelp-viewer would not build for firefox 1.5 would not
build on the unstable tree.
Your help would be appreciated.

I don't think the you can, yet. For a while I thought the yelp
problems were with the now quite old firefox 1.5 elements. But even
with the recently available firefox 2.0.x, yelp doesn't behave. The
possibilities are to dig back and find an older yelp that works, or
wait for pangocairo. Yelp finally works for me in the pangocairo
experimental tree with the firefox 2 viewer. Leopard sort of threw
a wrench into the rollout (aka pangocairo branch) of the massively
updated gnome entities, but it is pretty close to ready.

How can I get Gnome set up properly?
