Sorry, no - but i did now :o)
And do you have the following virtual packages:
system-xfree86
system-xfree86-shlibs
system-xfree86-dev
x11
x11-shlibs
x11-dev
Okay, missing x11-dev so am going to try reinstalling X11Sdk as per
the link above and take it from there!
? (If you found documentation that said to install "xfree86" rather
than looking for "system-xfree86" then it's wrong and I'd like the URL
)
Okay, my apologies! That's me generalising because I didn't have the
screen in front of me when I wrote the email! You are quite correct,
it does say system-xfree86 etc, not just xfree86 :o)
If one or more of these are missing, check out

My suspicion would be that you're minssing a file (thanks,
Installer.app!) which happens to be what Fink requires to exist in
order to generate a virtual package.
As a point of pedagogy: virtual packages aren't the ones that
generate symlinks--they're purely handled by fink and install no files
of their own. Those "system-" packages that aren't virtual do that.
