Yes. You might try using Darwin ports. I have had better luck with
them than Fink. Fink did not work well after an upgrade from 10.2 to
10.3 for me and I like the ports in Darwin ports.

I just do a

./configure --with-openssl
make
make install

Or with darwin ports:

$ port search nmap
nmap net/nmap 3.50 Port scanning utility
for large networks
$ port install nmap

Both seem to work fine.
