This shows you did this by hand. The automatic procedure fron Fink's
pathsetup.sh would have done it slightly differently (first checked
whether /sw/bin/init.sh exists, so that your startup script doesn't fail
when Fink is removed).
You don't need it twice, of course, but it is basically OK.

OK if you want to mix Fink and Macports, with Fink coming first.

On Leopard, this is *bad*. This is the line that prevents your X11 from
starting up automatically. In this blunt form, it was even bad on Tiger
already. It should at least look if DISPLAY is already set to some other
value.
On Leopard, it is important that you remove this line.

In my book, ~/.bashrc is not the place where you set PATH. But if you do
it, put at least /usr/X11/bin at the end.
