This is a fairly well-established problem: there are some circular dependencies that fink isn't "smart" enough to resolve.
Your instinct was correct, but you need to do it in a nonstandard way: sudo dpkg -r --force-depends gnome-vfs will remove the package by force, ignoring the multiple dependencies. Then install gnome-mime-data, which will in turn install the newer version of gnome-vfs.
