If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/finch
%  sudo port install finch

--->  Fetching finch
--->  Verifying checksum for finch
--->  Extracting finch
--->  Configuring finch
--->  Building finch with target all
