I replied (offlist) to your earlier message before I read this one. There are two things you'll need to do.
1) You need to install the SDK package (libraries) for X11. You can find the link in the lower right-hand corner of http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/ 2) You need a later version of system-xfree86, too (4.2-11). You'll need to update your package descriptions ("fink selfupdate-cvs" if you have the Developer Tools; otherwise, you can use "sudo apt-get update").
