fink does that already as part of the virtual package system.  The issue is 
that for fink-0.38.4 the tests were modified to treat Xquartz as installed if 
/opt/X11 is present.  The hope was that maintainers would modify their packages 
not to use lines like --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib in configuring their builds. 
 Unfortunately that hasn’t happened.

Instead, I’m going to revert the change, and therefore mandate that /usr/X11R6 
be present for the X11 virtual packages to be installed.  Currently, because of 
the historical development of our X11 virtual packages, this will change error 
messages about missing headers to messages that the ‘x11-dev’ virtual package 
is nonexistent—which is also not particularly transparent to users.  It may be 
possible to adjust the X11 virtual package code to have the packages be 
available but not installed instead of nonexistent, but that’s going to take 
more time.
