mktexlsr got moved from kpathsea to texlive at some point between 2017 and 2021. You probably still have kpathsea-6.3.3 installed that belongs to 2021 installed, and so are missing it. You'll need to run the following to force downgrading kpathsea to the 2017 version (one line for the command):

fink install kpathsea-6.2.3-1 libkpathsea6-shlibs-6.2.3-1 libkpathsea6-6.2.3-1 ptexenc1-1.3.5-1 ptexenc1-shlibs-1.3.5-1

This seems to work:

sudo texconfig-sys letter paper

generates preloaded format files, messages end with

fmtutil [INFO]: /opt/sw/var/lib/texmf/web2c/luatex/dvilualatex.fmt installed.
fmtutil [INFO]: Disabled formats: 6
fmtutil [INFO]: Successfully rebuilt formats: 44
fmtutil [INFO]: Total formats: 50
fmtutil [INFO]: exiting with status 0

sudo texconfig-sys letter a4

ends with the same message and the page size really does seem to be set to a4.
