fink should install into /sw so unless you changed it, that won't be it; if you don't give --prefix to configure scripts, when you build by hand it should go into /usr/local. I'm not sure about texlive 08 and where it goes by default. The only other thing I'm aware of that likes /opt/local would be the package installers for KDE.
