Alright I removed it. I used this command to remove it, "dpkg --remove --force-depends system-xfree86"It looks like you still have the system-xfree86 placeholder installed, and that's causing some confusion in the package manager. You'll need to remove it.
It took it out, I then went to install xfree86-rootless and got this error.
The following package will be installed or updated:
xfree86-rootless

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86-base again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
Press Return to continue.

This error looks like when I tried to install xfree86 when I had Apple's X11. Do I need to get rid of those two folders and start over again?
