Louis,

You do need developer tools installed at first since fink is needing 
them.

Once fink is installed, type in:

fink install scribus

fink should list all the dependencies for you - so you won't have to 
take care about qt or whatsoever: fink should compile and install 
everything that is needed to run scribus on your machine.

Then to launch the Application, you can add scribus in Apple X11's 
Application menu and get it from there.

The command you add to the Application menu should read something like:

source ~/.profile ; /sw/bin/scribus

(the .profile file being where fink is getting its path to 
/sw/bin/init.sh)

A few details may differ on your own machine but basically that's 
exactly what I did here and it works just fine.
