After a quick look, I could not find any packaged Finnish dict either.
I did a search and came up with this file: https://packetstormsecurity.com/file...innish.gz.html

My knowledge of Finnish is limited to "Tervetuloa", "Kiitos", "Rautatientori" and some mixed insults that I'd rather not write, so I'm not the best person to judge if that file is free of spelling mistakes.
I think it's not the best dict, since it seems to contain even occasional English and Italian words, but it's a good start.

The okboard readme explains how to name the file and where to put it to bypass the aspell dict.

Good luck again!
