No, the new Fink xmkmf package is specifically meant for the new xquartz 
  update whose developers have decided to remove xmkmf in order to 
perhaps save one or two Apple engineer hours in the future, at the cost 
of hundreds of Fink developer hours and many frustrated Fink and other 
Mac users. You can read about this in the archives of the Apple 
x11-users mailing list.

Anyway, the new Fink xmkmf package hides itself in /sw/lib/xmkmf, so 
that in order to use it, a Fink package needs to set some environment 
variables in its CompileScript. Some packages need

  export PATH=%p/lib/xmkmf/bin:$PATH
  export IMAKEINCLUDE=-I%p/lib/X11/config

but this has to be checked with every package, especially with the kde 
packages which use their own version of autotools and make.
