In Fink it's the maintainer(s) of a package who update the package.

That's OK. You just have to create another texmf.cnf file. That's what for
example the MacTeX package performs. And I too, in order to get

Yes, but it won't be wise. There can only be one package manager. (For Linux
wrapper packages exist that link sections of a TeX Live installation into the
system's package manager to satisfy particular TeX related dependencies.)
