Do you have /usr/bin/emacs ? If not, do you have /usr/bin/emacs-undumped ?
If so:

sudo /usr/libexec/dumpemacs

will give you a /usr/bin/emacs and allow fink bootstrap to complete.

Another possibility is to fix the gettext.info file. Edit the file
10.4-transitional/gettext.info in your fink directory from which you run bootstrap.sh and remove "share/emacs" from the "Files:" line in the gettext-bin splitoff. Bootstrapping should then go through.

For good measure, in that same gettext.info file, you can also edit the line

  ./configure %c

in the CompileScript, so that it reads

  env EMACS=no ./configure %c

In this way, it will not even try to look whether you have any emacs binary.

I think it is an aberration that a basic bootstrap package should need emacs, just for installing one file "po-mode.el".
