This is a Fink FAQ #9.11
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#apple-x11-wants-xfree86
It means that Fink is not convinced that your X11 installation is
complete and builds its own xfree86 packages instead. The usual cause is
that you didn't install the X11SDK.pkg which is an optional installation
that comes with the Xcode dev tools.

Yes, the installer does this occasionally. So far, I haven't heard from
anyone for whom the reinstallation of *both* packages X11User.pkg and
X11SDK.pkg, the latter one perhaps two or three times, hasn't helped.
If it doesn't for you, there exist diagnostic tools that can help
narrowing down the problem. Usually it's a missing header file or two,
or an old version of something that didn't get updated.
