I tried this (I moved the files to the desktop rather than delete them...

% startx -- -quartz

bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Which sounds to me like the Info.plist file (which tells OS X to treat a
folder is an application bundle, as I recall) somehow isn't getting built.
Any ideas? Here's what fink tells me about my installation:
% fink list "xfree86*"
