I have no idea if the installer did clobber my already installed packages, but they still seem to work in XDarwin. What doesn't work is fvwm2 in X11, but besides that, if I switch my .xinitrc file to something reasonable (i.e. "exec quartz-wm") I can use X11 with no real problems, and if I switch it back to what it was ("exec fvwm2") then everything I had installed works (aterm, emacs, nmapfe, xclock, gimp, fvwm2, gaim, xcalc, etc, etc) and I can use XDarwin without problems. If it had overwritten everything when I installed X11, wouldn't that break my fink stuff? I can list the packages I have that still work if anyone is interested.
The other question is: does anyone know where X11's terminal program looks for configuration information? As far as I can tell, none of my normal config files are getting read (I'm using tcsh). Again, I'll send details if anyone is interested.
Thanks,

Actually, it does interfere with them 100%. If you didn't remove the fink versions first, the Apple installer wrote over all your fink x11 packages with its own versions. You need to force remove the fink packages and install system-xfree86. But, the force removal will remove the apple versions now, because you didn't remove the fink versions first. -Ben
