Yes. :)
I just got bit by that too, it's not intel specific. It's also not a gnucash 
problem per se.

I finally gave up on fink yesterday and installed Macports in order to 
install Gnucash, left it compiling overnight but this morning I get the same 
error as you when trying to launch.

The problem is slib, version 3a4 breaks gnucash and other packages[1], you 
need to downgrade to 3a3, at least that's what I'm trying (although trac 
suggests this has been fixed[2], I've no idea how long it takes patches to 
filter through to the released version).

There have already been messages here on how to fix this issue, this message 
and the following thread should get you there:

[2] http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11015

I'm currently rebuilding everything that depended on slib with:
sudo port -fR upgrade slib

Simply downgrading slib didn't seem to be enough:
ERROR: In procedure open-file:
ERROR: No such file or directory: "/opt/local/share/guile/1.6/slib/mklibcat"
