Are you sure they aren't there in Linux? Many packages seem to rely on 
them, which is usually a sign for their presence in Linux.

Another question is how the package maintainer can find such problems if 
he uses Apple's X11.

I'd prefer if the Fink X11 packages behaved as closely as possible like 
Apple's X11, including for compiling other stuff.
