You don't need to be a UNIX-freak to install 2.0.1 from lilypond.. ;)  
Some patience and FinkCommander will do.
Get FinkCommander from http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net first.  
It's a nice GUI tool to manage your Fink packages and install new ones.
To install stuff from the unstable branch, 2.0.1 is in that branch, you 
also need to install the Apple Developer tools.  If you don't have them 
on your OS X installation cd's you can download it from 
http://connect.apple.com (free registration)
Now that you've installed both of those, open FinkCommander's 
preferences and tell it you want to use the unstable branch.
Then I think you have to run ScanPackages from the Source menu to 
update your package descriptions to the unstable branch.  Now find 
lilypond in the list, make sure 2.0.1-13 is listed as the latest 
version and run Install, once again from the source menu.

Wait a good while and you should have a working 2.0.1 installation.

Hope this helps.  Come back if you have troubles and I'll try to help.
