Thanks again,
I downloaded and almost got xorg installed but obviously I need to remove some old clutter. Can you help?
You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6/lib.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86-shlibs again. (The package won't be recompiled.)
Press Return to continue.

Hmm...it definitely worked for me. Go ahead and do
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11
And then xorg should be able to install itsefl.
