system-xfree86 is a virtual package, which gets installed if your X11 installation is correct.
To figure out what's going on, download the following script:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/costabel/fink-x11-debug
Then run it in a terminal from wherever you downloaded it:
perl fink-x11-debug
Then post the results to the list.
I thought it possibly useful to run the script, too, since I'm getting the infamous "You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11" message. Here's the output:

WARNING: if you compile X11 applications against this XFree86 release,
you will *not* be able to run them if you decide to revert to Apple's
X11 provided with Panther.
You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
Press Return to continue.
