Reinstall Fink?

[David Reiser]

You could try:
/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh
then open a new terminal window and try 'fink selfupdate'

It looks like removing macports may have done away with your .profile  
or .tcshrc (or at least 'returned' them to some state that includes  
neither the macports nor fink environment stuff.

In particular, it looks like /sw/bin is no longer in your $PATH.
