Hmm, I don't quite know where you looked, but if you see cmake-1.8.2 
(now 1.8.3), you should also see vtk. They were introduced to Fink 
together. See http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/vtk but 
notice also that that database, being dynamic, is often in an 
incomplete state. It is better to look on you harddisk

find /sw/fink/dists -name vtk\*

I have also packages for vtk-4.4 and for mayavi, but unfortunately the 
API incompatibility between vtk-4.2 and vtk-4.4 prevents me to put them 
up in Fink for the moment (they are on the Fink cvs site, however). 
This is a pity, because the python wrapping for Mac OSX 10.3 does not 
work with vtk-4.2 and works with 4.4.
