Fink used to have an osxfuse package, but it stopped being updated when 
upstream went closed source (as MacFUSE, which you have). Without 
knowing what files the new MacFUSE has installed, it's not possible to 
know why ext4fuse is failing to find it. The ext4fuse Makefile looks for 
the file fuse.pc. It might be in a non-standard location that pkg-config 
does not know about, or it might no longer be present (ext4fuse hasn't 
been updated in 4 years).
