There should really be no problem in having them both installed, but I 
need to find the time to fix the emacs-carbon package so it doesn't have 
any files overlapping with emacs21. Wait a week and see what happens :)

emacs-carbon and emacs-alpha are actually identical (more or less), the 
name change was made to make the difference between the aqua- and 
X11-based versions clearer. Also, I think emacs-alpha shouldn't exist 
anymore (except as a virtual package for compatibility). If it does, try 
running fink selfupdate-cvs.
