Sure.  Don't use "fink update-all".

Additional options to make this more palatable:

1)  You can use Fink Commander, sort by status, and select all of the
outdated packages except the ones you know you don't want to update.

2)  You can use some scripting:

fink list -ot | cut -f2 | grep -v <glob for packages to skip> | xargs
fink install

For example, I'm using

fink update `fink list -ot | cut -f2 | grep -v kdebase3`

right now, because kdebase3-unified currently isn't building here.  You
might use more "grep -v ..." options if you need to skip more packages.
