I am current readline mainteinar.
I run the configure script with '--with-readline-dir=/sw'.
'/sw' is the Fink's readline installed directory.

My readline.bundle is linked /sw/lib/libreadline.4.dylib.

ragdoll$ otool -L ~/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/i386-darwin9.5.0/readline.bundle 
/Users/kouji/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/i386-darwin9.5.0/readline.bundle:
        /sw/lib/libreadline.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.2.0, current version 4.3.0)
        /sw/lib/ncurses/libncurses.5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)

Thanks.
