If you're feeling adventurous and enjoy working with X11, there's 
always GnuCash.  It's currently an unstable Fink package, and will 
compile with a little coaxing.  (Typically, its a matter of reading the 
error messages and figuring out what other packages you need to install 
first.  Or at least, that's what it was for me.)  It's not as pretty as 
Quicken, but it gets the job done.  And, aside from ISP time to 
download the thing, it's free.
