I know nothing about fink tetex... but tetex is tetex, I hope...

Here is what I should try

1 - enter Terminal and type

 kpsewhich language.dat

this should give you the location of the active language.dat

2 - open this file in a text editor.
add this line (a carriage return must follow if it is the last line)

swedish         svhyph.tex

and save the file.

3 - come back to terminal and

sudo fmtutil --all
