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:

First you want to clean up the package database:
sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends xfree86
Then do
sudo rm -rf /etc/X11/usr/X11R6
and throw out XDarwin.app and | or X11.app
After that the question is whether you want XFree86 or Apple's X11.
