Fink offers gnucash 2.2.5 under the package name gnucash2. You need to
enable both the 'unstable' and 'crypto' trees in order to see it in the
list of packages.
A dmg installer is not a trivial undertaking, especially with 2
architectures to accommodate, and apple's library naming requirements.
It would be almost as much work as the windows port, and harder to maintain.
