'purge' (both apt-get and fink have such an option) removes

Yes, only in this case this is not always sufficient: The tetex and
other tex-related packages produce files in their installation
scripts that are not in the package file lists and can therefore
not be removed automatically, because fink and dpkg know nothing
about them.
I think if you really want to be sure that nothing messes up your
new tetex package, you have to clean some things out by hand. In
addition to the purge option, you would have to move all the /sw/
{etc,share,var/lib}/texmf* and ~/{Library/texmf,.texmf-*}
directories out of the way, plus some others I forgot, and of
course /usr/local. Then install the tetex packages and move those
things back that you wish to conserve. I had to do something along
these lines a couple of times in order to get rid of wrong format
files that kept being rebuilt.
Those files (at least the ones created in /sw) need to be in a custom
pre-rm script to be removed on purge.
