You can pack up an svn checkout and put it in /sw/src for your own local
use.

For an official package description, basically the same procedure
applies:  a tarball is made, and put online somewhere.

It's probably not too hard actually to set up a method by which fink
could check out from a repo at a fixed svn revision to generate a source
tarball to work from, but there hasn't been a sufficient combination of
time/motivation to do it yet.
