Hi Aron et al:
Glad you have it working.
Gary Kerbaugh wrote a script called pkgdiff that "takes a directory (or directories) as an argument and compares the actual contents with contents that would be expected on the basis of the bom (bill of materials) files of the package receipts in /Library/Receipts. It reports missing files and extra files..."
This might be a useful way to check to see if the X11.app and X11SDK Apple installers worked properly, and perhaps the relevant bits could be incorporated in a fink install script.

Additional commentary: http://tinyurl.com/3r28x
It works like this:
zsh-% pkgdiff /usr/X11R6/include You have everything X11SDK.pkg installed in /usr/X11R6/include You have everything X11SDK.pkg installed in /usr/X11R6/include/DPS You have everything X11SDK.pkg installed in /usr/X11R6/include/GL You have everything X11SDK.pkg installed in /usr/X11R6/include/X11 You have everything X11SDK.pkg installed in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ICE <snip>
HTH someone,
Bill

As promised, over the weekend I re-tried Fink. The virtual packages were there as promised, X11 did not recompile and Gaim and xmms worked! This is the goal I was trying to achieve - have Gaim and other GTK+ apps work properly (i.e. show fonts and menus) I will now retry the process on the eMac where Gaim and other GTK+ apps aren't working. Perhaps the order of installation may matter - i.e. in the past I installed xmms before gaim. I know it shouldn't matter but perhaps it does in that xmms installs an older version of gtk. While that seems close to superstitious behavior, I will do the same order of operations on the eMac and see if in fact it works there as well. There may be some other explanation but I already tried reinstalling Fink on that machine to no avail - of course this was a few months ago so there may be some other bug fixes that resolved the problem. And of course this time I will first check the virtual packages to make sure everything was installed properly.
Thanks for all the help.
