As to which version to pick up: xfree86-base | rootless-threaded is kind of a hack to add threading support to XFree86-4.2.1.1. If you don't need threading, then you probably want just xfree86-base | rootless. xfree86 is XFree86-4.3.0, and has thread support built in, but you might wind up having to do more upgrades.

Alexander, thanks for the quick response.
Am I selecting the right packages to upgrade? I want to be sure before I
attempt this.

Subject: [Fink-beginners] Failed: can't batch-install packages: xfree86...
Hi.
After a long night of my PowerBook G4 1 Ghz doing an update-all, I was
unable to finish compiling and upgrading. I had to uninstall Gaim and Pan
due to dependency issues earlier:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ant]$ fink update-all sudo /sw/bin/fink update-all Password: Information about 1274 packages read in 1 seconds.
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency.
The
candidates:
(1) xfree86-base-threaded: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and
data
(2) xfree86-base: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
(3) xfree86: XFree86 distribution
Pick one: [1] 1
