That is indeed the case.  The fink packages for 10.1 are essentially
frozen, with ongoing support continuing for 10.2 only.  The updates to
system-xfree86 came about mainly due to issues presented by Apples's
X11, which isn't supposed to work on 10.1, anyway.

That being said, system-xfree86 doesn't actually really install
anything, so one may well be able to use a 10.2 version on 10.1 .
