For a fourth choice, you can do a stand-alone build of PyMOL and its
dependencies with relatively little problem (at least on 10.6; haven't
upgraded yet).

As I know, you have 3 choices:
1, You can apply a free educational-use-only MacPymol from the company,
Schrodinger, LLC. This is the easiest way, just move the MacPymol program into
your Program Folder.
2, I think you still can try to install Pymol by Fink. Just follow the wiki
page of Pymol.(http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/MAC_Install). But there is a
compatible problem between Fink and Lion. There is a Lion upgrade notes written
by William
Scott(http://sage.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Lion_upgrade_notes).
Maybe it can help you.
3, If Fink doesn't work. I think you can try to use MacPorts. It looks like
there is no compatible problem between MacPorts and MacOS Lion. The install
process is very simple (http://www.macports.org/install.php). I found MacPorts
still contain Pymol package, also include apbs plugin. But there is no other
protein xtallography software packages, like CCP4 and coot. And It is
impossible to install MacPorts and Fink at the same time. So If you also want
install CCP4 or coot from source code, it will be very inconvenient.
Best!
