Thanks for the suggestions.
I am using the standard OS X terminal. Just to verify, I just tried a new
window: no luck. For good measure, I tried
source /sw/bin/init.sh
both in the standard terminal, as well as in an X11 terminal, but the exact
same problems happened.
Any further thoughts?

Any thoughts on how to proceed? I've tried a completely brand new
vanilla fink install, but that didn't seem to solve the problem
either.
For full disclosure, here's more info: I was originally also receiving
error messages that looked like:
"Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide
a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is
loaded!"
but with a suggestion from the package maintainer (thank you!), that
error was repaired by:
fink reinstall dbus
fink rebuild gconf2
fink reinstall gconf2
fink reinstall gnucash2
... but I'm still left with the "Failed to load key" errors.
If anyone knows how to repair this, I'd be appreciative. Thanks!

Where are you starting from? The regular OS X terminal or an X11
terminal? The error looks like your fink environment isn't getting
processed.
If you're on the regular OS X terminal, try starting a new window to make
sure the updates that were made got processed.
If you're using an X11 terminal (I'll assume you're using Apple's X11
since you didn't specify that), then you're probably suffering from the
long-standing issue that Apple's X11 doesn't generally process your user
startup scripts. Manually running
source /sw/bin/init.sh
(assuming you're using bash as your shell) before starting any
applications should solve this. For something more automatic, you can
make sure that whatever mechanism you use to run the terminal uses "xterm
-ls" instead of just "xterm" to run it. (If you're not using xterm then
you'll need to use whatever syntax your terminal supports to run a login
shell)
