The Fink tetex packages follow essentially the same layout as the teTeX
distributed by Gerben Weirda, in an attempt to maintain some compatibility
so that users can combine X11-related tools like xdvi from Fink with
Wierda's teTeX. 

Wierda has announced his intention to package xdvi and other X11-related
things with his teTeX distribution in the future, now that Apple is
providing X11 to its customers.  Once he does this, you can expect the
Fink tetex packages to be redesigned (and perhaps have a somewhat
more rational directory layout!), since compatibility will no longer be
an issue.
