May I suggest you to try the seamonkey pkg in my exp dir. (http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/experimental/jfmertens/crypto/ finkinfo/seamonkey.*) It is 'latest stable', and runs AFAIK quite reliably both on ppc and on intel. And for most mozilla dependent pkgs that I know, making them run with this is a simple matter of telling them that the name of mozilla is seamonkey _ and if they complain about not knowing that name, force them to shut up.
I should commit it very soon _ the only things holding me up are lack of encouragment + extensive testing by others.., _ and there you might help !, and a packaging difficulty (and there any help or clarification from others on this list is welcome: the "shlibs policy" looks utterly impracticable to me, at least in cases like this) : In a pkg that has about 125 dylibs (with about 100 among them in fact bundles), shlibs policy would require to put in the -shlibs pkg all shared libraries _ but also anything on which those might depend : I don't really know how to check for those 100 bundles which ones can be loaded from one the the 2 dozen libraries, and which ones get loaded only by the executables... And even if I knew _ this pkg makes extensive use of files, and I would have the same problem with each of the files....
