Run "fink configure".

The traditional way to specify a port, if it is different from the

http:/an.url.foo:PORT

Fink doesn't hook into any Mac OS X specific network settings, hence 
we are not aware of any such "location" changes. We also don't read 
out the proxy settings from the network settings.
