Yes. Only bear in mind that it's based on debian package management.  
So it can happen that, when you want to install one little software,  
you'd need to install ten big softwares. A way out is to create a  
"local" package from a Fink specification (<software>.info) and  
remove some dependencies or configure options.

As mentioned before: http://emacs-on-aqua.sourceforge.net/, http:// 
macwiki.sourceforge.jp/emacs/test/, http://irodori.sakura.ne.jp/
