If fink is doing its job, this means that its dependencies should also have
been installed, one of which is xfree86 in one of its forms (xfree86-base &
xfree86-rootless) or (system-xfree86). If you during install chose the first
couple, this means you're set to go. See more below. If you chose the
latter, it's a question of whether you have installed another distribution
of xfree86 by yourself, and then pointed fink to it (which is what this
option is for) -- IIRC fink checks when you chose system-xfree86 whether you
have an install at all.

Xdarwin is the only way to go, and as i hinted above, fink should have made
sure that you already have that. You should have an app at
/Applications/Xdarwin already (which, given that all the rest is ok, when
launched should throw you into KDE).

So, you should only have to pay time, patience and bandwidth for a full and
functioning KDE install on OS X/Darwin.
