If you really want to use fink, I think you'll have to
contact the fink team. Specifically it looks like
Koen van der Drift is kindly taking care of packaging
Biopython on Fink:

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/biopython-py24
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/biopython-py25
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/biopython-py26
