I installed apple's x11SDK (moving aside the old X11R6 tree which was installed via fink some 4-8 weeks ago) and x11 dependent programs like gnuplot, gv, R do still run perfectly.
Meaning: You have been lucky so far. There is no guarantee that this will continue.

what is the correct procedure? should I
- move aside the apple x11 tree temporarily
- move back the xfree86 tree to X11R6
- deinstall x11 with dselect (at least on the machine which knows about it)
- move back the apple-x11 tree to the canonical location?
Yes, this should be OK. It is not really necessary to move the old xfree86 tree back. Also, for removing I would use command-line tools like "fink remove" or, if this doesn't want to work because of existing dependencies, "dpkg -r --force-depends".
what is the correct procedure to inform fink/deselect that there now is a working apple-x11 installation?
You don't have to do anything. If all xfree86* packages are removed and the two Apple X11 packages completely installed, then fink creates the appropriate virtual packages automatically.
does someone know a reason for the
observed differing behaviour on both machines (which are nearly identically installed as far as I know)?
Not completely identically, it seems.
I'm afraid the present configuration is not consistent...
any help (if one knows the correct entry in the FAQ, for instance...)
I suppose you have read FAQ#8.11.
