You can put it in the same place.  (And you will need to do texhash 
as  you do for sty files) To use it, you need to put \input{longdiv} 
in your preamble.

(BTW, are much more up-to-date TeX distributions around than Fink's 
teTeX. (e.g. www.tug.org/mactex)  teTeX itself is no longer being 
supported/updated.  You might want to think about updating sometime.
