The command you want is

fink install gnucash2

There isn't a binary available for 2.2.x of gnucash available in fink 
yet (don't hold your breath waiting for one, either), so apt-get won't 
work for the current version. And version 1.8.12 (associated with the 
fink package gnucash) is extremely old and frequently doesn't work on 
Intel macs.
