Just rename one of the critical files system-xfree86* checks for and see what happens when a pkg BuildDepends:x11-dev.
What happened is that I clobbered my X11 installation. Well, like any luser, I didn't read your message in detail, thought it would work also for Depends and binary installation, and got burnt like any luser:
I renamed /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib which removes all xfree* and x11* virtual packages. Then I ran "fink install texmacs", which is a package I had built earlier and which has BuildDepends: x11, x11-dev and Depends: x11-shlibs.
costabel% fink install texmacs
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install texmacs

The following package will be installed or updated:

The following additional package will be installed:
xfree86-shlibs
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Well, I thought (still in luser mode), maybe the wunderful choice will come afterwards, and hit return:

Actually, I hit Ctrl-C immediately when I saw that it was really going to install xfree86-shlibs, but it went ahead anyway, no questions asked, not listening to Ctrl-C.
The real test with BuildDepends will have to wait until I have finished reconstructing my X11 installation :(
