Fink and MacPorts started out as the same project, actually, but split
due to philosophical differences.  So yes, they're similar.  I have
both, because some packages are available in one and not the other, or
the version available in one is newer/better maintained, etc.

I'm sure this comes as news to the fink and macports projects, both of which are still populated with the folks who founded each project entirely separately (and in different decades even) :-)
