First of all I am sorry for the troubles that you are having. It seems as if you were just plain unlucky.
Ok so now you have a fresh install of apple x11 and Fink. All you have to do now is download fink and install it. That should be it. And as mentioned in the previous post do not do anything just yet. First type in fink-virtual-pkgs. With this you should get a couple of virtual packages listed. Most importantly you should get system-xfree86 system-xfree86-dev among the others listed. If you have these you should have a proper setup based on apple's x11. But run the command i specified above and give us the output. If there are any problems please do mail us again.
