The only issues I have had with fink and macports co-existing on the same volume has been fink's xml-sax-expat-pm5123 package which somehow seems confused when /opt/local exists. /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/libs/perlmods/xml-sax-expat-pm5123_0.40-4_darwin-x86_64.deb (Reading database ... 50986 files and directories currently installed.)
