Which version of xcode and of X11 do you have installed? AFAIK, the 
currently officially available versions still have the *.la files. At 
worst, you can reinstall X11SDK.pkg from xcode <= 3.1.1, which still has 
the *.la files, and then install the latest xquartz update on top of it.

This doesn't mean that the Fink project can sleep on and not *very soon* 
come up with an idea how to deal with the situation of missing 
/usr/X11/lib/*.la files. We really need a solution. The next version of 
xcode and coming versions of the xquartz updates *will not have these 
*.la files any more*.
