Correct.  Gnus runs just fine on all (appropriately versioned)
releases of Emacs on OS X.

I don't believe anyone has bothered created a fink package for Gnus
yet.  This would not necessarily be a bad thing, because even
OS-independent software sometimes takes a non-trivial amount of time
to install and setup.  Fink includes other such software, e.g.,
the Apache Foundation's Ant, which is written in Java.
