It looks like system-xfree86 is still in the installed package list, but all of its files are missing.
If you have installed the fink xfree86-* packages, then try to remove system-xfree86. Start with "fink remove system-xfree86" If, on the other hand, you have an external Xwindows installation, like Apple X11, then you'll need system-xfree86, and will want to use "fink reinstall system-xfree86" -- Alexander K.
