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.
