Yes, there is, but it isn't enabled by default. If you enable the 
unstable packages, it will all work nicely.

Two ways to do it:
1. Use the Fink Commander application that comes with the Fink 
distribution (but needs a separate install). In the Preferences 
dialogue, put a check mark beside "use unstable packages".
2. To accomplish the same thing manually, edit /sw/etc/fink.conf so 
that "unstable/main" is included in the "Trees:" line.
