Hi Harish,
   I'll see what I can do but it's a somewhat long recipe and I'm  
not sure I would do it exactly this way if I was starting from  
scratch. However,  everything is now working (and just for fun  I've  
modified Dolfin to work with PETSc-3.0.0...If anyone is interested,  
I  can make an hg bundle for those changes).

I've also had issues with fink, so most of my packages are hand-built  
from source (including swig, gts, openmpi-1.3, petsc) and some of the  
fixes involve editing the package-config files (this is not pretty)
I haven't used Dorsal, but I should probably take a look and see what  
it's trying to do.
It would be nice to automate all of this.
If there are specific issues, I've probably run into all of them and  
can try to field questions
