No. While I haven't made special tests about this right now, I am 
convinced that the old problem that some parts of vpython (of that 
version at least) needed to be compiled with gcc-3.1 still exists.

On OSX <= 10.3 you had a gcc3.1.pkg from the developer tools disk which 
was recognized by Fink as a virtual Fink package. On 10.4, there is a 
real Fink package for gcc-3.1. The fact that you don't see this is one 
of the reasons why I said that your Fink installation is not the one 
needed for 10.4.
