The fink version currently works without a problem. You just need to  
be patient and let it build overnight. It requires editing the file / 
sw/etc/fink.conf by replacing the line that begins with "Trees" with  
the following:

Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main unstable/ 
crypto

(in other words, add "unstable/main unstable/crypto" to the tail end.)

Thereafter, it is a simple as issuing the command "fink install  
gnucash2".

Macports is, unfortunately, a moving target by design. For the past  
several months, getting gnucash from macports has been difficult and  
unreliable. If you just want it to work, use fink. If you want to use  
macports anyway, I can give you more hints for success.

Cheers,
