I don't use LilyPond from fink, but from CVS. I source the following
file before calling lilypond (adapted from here_lily, some bits may be
useless):

  export LILYPOND_DIR=~/src/lilypond/lilypond
  export PATH=$LILYPOND_DIR/lily/out:$LILYPOND_DIR/scripts/out:/sw/bin:$PATH   
  #unset LILYPONDPREFIX
  unset TEXMF
  # ugh: must fool-proof other TeX environment variables
  TEXINPUTS=:
  MFINPUTS=:
  TFMFONTS=:  
  . $LILYPOND_DIR/VERSION
  FULL_VERSION=$MAJOR_VERSION.$MINOR_VERSION.$PATCH_LEVEL
  if [ -n "$MY_PATCH_LEVEL" ]; then
     FULL_VERSION=$FULL_VERSION.$MY_PATCH_LEVEL
  fi
  export datadir=$LILYPOND_DIR/share/lilypond/$FULL_VERSION
  export LILYPONDPREFIX=$LILYPOND_DIR/share/lilypond/$FULL_VERSION
  export TEXMF="{$datadir,"`kpsexpand  \\$TEXMF`"}"  
  export 
GS_FONTPATH="$datadir/fonts/type1:/sw/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm:/sw/share/texmf-local/fonts/type1/public/ec-fonts-mftraced"
  export GS_LIB="$datadir/ps:$GS_FONTPATH"
  export FONTCONFIG_FILE=/sw/share/fontconfig-path/fontconfig-path.conf
  
(obviously for fink, this needs some fixing)

And I get serif font (Century Schoolbook).

Other users should have better solutions for fink.
