The FAQ clearly states that:
system-xfree86: [placeholder for user installed x11]
system-xfree86-shlibs: [placeholder for user installed x11 shared libraries]
Represent Apple's X11/XDarwin, an optional part of OS X (X11User.pkg). These
packages provide x11 and x11-shlibs, respectively. See also this FAQ entry.
system-xfree86-dev [placeholder for user installed x11 development tools]
Represents Apple's X11/XDarwin SDK, an optional part of OS X (X11SDK.pkg).
This package provides x11-dev. See also this FAQ entry.
However, fink disagrees:
# COLUMNS=76 fink list x11\* system-xfree86\*
Information about 1833 packages read in 1 seconds.

x11 [virtual package]
x11-dev [virtual package]
x11-shlibs [virtual package]
Is the FAQ wrong?
No.
If so, are there plans to update it? If not, how do I persuade fink that x11 is being provided?
x11, x11-dev and x11-shlibs are in your "fink list", so they are being provided. Run "fink-virtual-pkgs" if you don't believe me.
Since x11 is a provided virtual package rather than one that is generated directly by fink, it doesn't have a version number or show up with an i flag if it exists. If it weren't being provided, "fink list" wouldn't show it.
Fink 0.21.2, OS 10.3.5.
