Here are my Fink notes on installing in Big Sur but it is the same for Monterey and I think it also works on Ventura but haven’t tried that.

This is an old thread, but wanted to mention that as of early January 2023, the dpkg1.16 branch from TheSin- knows about Apple silicon. So it's no longer necessary to run Terminal under Rosetta. If you don't have Fink installed (or you want to install to a new tree), follow the above instructions through the `./bootstrap` command. If you already have a git checkout and want to update it, cd to the right directory and run `git pull` to fetch the latest code. You can then run `./inject.pl` to update an existing Fink install. HOWEVER (very important), I don't know what will happen if you try to run the updated Fink on an M1/M2 system that was originally set up as being x86_64 emulation and has now been converted to run natively. My guess is that something will break. If that's the case, I would recommend starting from scratch as true arm64 w/out Rosetta's emulation.
