Thank you. Unfortunately, replacing /sw/bin/init.csh did not eliminate
my problem. Every time I open a terminal window in X11, I get
"tcsh: if:
Expression Syntax" and the rest of my .cshrc doesn't get read (no
aliases, no /Developer/Tools in my path). Also, if I execute
"source /sw/
bin/init.csh" in Terminal.app, I get the same error. I have eliminated
all if statements in my .cshrc, so it has to be something wrong with
that file. (I tried moving .cshrc out of the way temporarily and
did not
get the error, ruling out my .xinitrc.)

Just a small possibility: do you have a .tcshrc file in your home
dir? tcsh looks for .tcshrc and then .cshrc.
If that doesn't do it, then try this:
* Move your .cshrc to a temporary location for safekeeping
* Make a new .cshrc that has only the "source /sw/bin/init.csh"
* Open a new terminal window
If you still get the error, then it is indeed a flaw in init.csh.
Otherwise, I think it's more likely to be a bad interaction between
your rc and the Fink init. For example, I often see "tcsh: Word too
long." in my own shell when I run init.csh a second time because (I
think) fink appends to my already-long CLASSPATH variable. So, in
that example neither .cshrc nor init.csh is at fault, but a bad
interaction between them. Your problem may be similar.
