This is not the appropriate list for this issue, because your problem is
not with anything in the fink core packages.  I am moving it to
[email protected].

Your issue is completely different than the one covered by the
instructions you followed.  x11-dev is provided by the X11SDK, which is
part of Xcode (or if you have the unofficial Xquartz distribution it
comes from that).  On Leopard and later there is no Fink package that
provides it, so there isn't a need to do anything within Fink.

You'll want to check the output of the following command:

    fink list -t system-xfree86

You should get something like the following

 i     system-xfree86    2:7.2-2    [placeholder for user installed x11]
 i     system-xfree86-dev    2:7.2-2    [placeholder for user installed
x11 development tools]
 i     system-xfree86-manual-install    2:7.2-2    Manually installed
X11 components
 i     system-xfree86-shlibs    2:7.2-2    [placeholder for user
installed x11 shared libraries]

I'm going to assume that at least system-xfree86-dev is missing, though
possibly the others are, too.  If just system-xfree86-dev is missing,
then you'll need to (re)install the X11SDK package from Xcode.  Even if
that is present, you should still do that.  If the others are missing,
then you'll also need to install the X11User package from your OS X media.

I'll refer you to some FAQ entries, too:
