 From fink's standpoint, what was missing was literally just the 
"com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables" entry in the system's receipt 
database.  All fink does is parse the output of "pkgutil --pkgs" to look 
for that.  The "xcode" virtual package can come into being on 10.9 only 
if that receipt is present.  10.8 and 10.7 use 
com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI instead.  "xcode-select --install" 
downloaded and installed the tools, and registered the 
com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables receipt in the database, so fink was 
satisfied.

It's probably desirable behavior that you got blocked, as it turns out, 
since the command-line build tools for older OS X versions tend not to 
work completely properly on newer ones -- a proud tradition dating back 
to 10.1. :-)
