I can't say I know of anyone with an entire finger missing, although there are a couple of folks I personally know who have at least part of their finger (eg from the first or second knuckle on) missing. Although there'd probably be a time of transition as in everything else in your life where you'll be using your hands/fingers, I doubt it'll affect your aikido that much in the long run.
I've also met one gentleman in aikido who has no arms. I believe he was born without any arms past his shoulders. He, of course, has had to modify many of his techniques, but he seems to be able to embody the principles of aikido quite well.
