If you are already using fink, I think your background may be enough  
to do the installation following step by step this page:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSXInstallation (using gnucash 2.0.2  
and not the svn version)

I do not know I guess it's better (although not mandatory in my  
opinion) ("sudo fink remove gnucash")
> * Do I need to uninstall Fink?
No, but : in this case you'll have multiple installations of many  
packages... So my advice is ti use either fink either darwin ports,  
not both...

If your data is in your home directory (where it should be), and not  
in gnucash installation directory (where it shoud not be ;-))... you  
do not need to do a backup...
But you should always backup regulary your data anyway ;-)
