As far as law and order go, I suspect that there is a fairly concerted effort to get the larger groups to agree to some sort of loose code of conduct with meetings at Cons providing the nearest thing to governments that exist.
In general, Convention organisers are asked nicely to shedule a meeting for anyone who can prove that they represent a good-sized group of Fen to discuss what, if any, issues need to be settled; and an open meeting that anyone can come to so that the issue can be mentioned and a quick show of hands taken to see if there's any sort of consensus.
The wonder would be that it works at all, but it's fairly unusual to have more than a few thousand Fen in one place anyway.
As far as extradition goes, there is probably no offical position, but there are bounty hunter Fens and there is no rule that they can't haul someone down to the 'Danelaw. It won't work very well if someone's wandering around in the far reaches, but for those hanging around more crowded regions, it's fairly effective. Bounty Hunters often have access to handwavium'd forensics gear from the CSI-geekdom.
As for careers, there are probably a lot of Fen that do odd-jobs for the larger and better funded projects (like the Mars Terraforming) long enough to build up a stake to go wandering a while. So hauling comets to Mars, surveying Venus, prospecting for the Asteroid Miners, delivering supplies to various outposts, construction work building space stations or moonbases.
Besides that there would be niches for the aforementioned Bounty Hunters, wandering doctors, skilled craftsmen who can get better than average results with handwavium (like the Professor). There would also be a niche for deliverys - it's all very well ordering the newest DVDs, but UPS don't deliver to orbit, much less Mars (or do they?)
