This is true, how ever the system-xfree86 pkg is flawed in other ways as
well. Since some pkgs may depend on a certain version of xfree, and since
there is no way of knowing which is install with system-xfree86. The make
a pkg management system as fink all pkgs almost need to be controlled by
fink to make sure everything jives sort to say. That was just one example
of the system pkgs flaw, I'm sure I can think of more, OH and the obvious
KDE problem is an other.
