There was a bad xfree86-shlibs a while back that could overwrite
externally-installed X11s.  This looks like the case for you:  you
shouldn't have both xfree86-shlibs and system-xfree86.  Or, if you
installed Apple's X11 over a Fink xfree86 setup, that can cause the
same problem.

You can straighten out your system via the command given in:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php#special-x11-debug

Then you can install whatever X11 you want.  With any luck, if you've
been using Apple's X11 before, you won't require any rebuilding--that
would presume that your xfree86-shlibs didn't constitute a real
installation.

If you want to use xfree86 or xorg that's fine too--definitely no
rebuild of anything.
