Simply install Apple's X and the X Developer Tools (I think that's what they're called) from Apple and when you compile a Fink app, it will ask what kind of X you have installed. Option 1 is something to the effect of "Manual X11 Install, Placeholder".
Have fun! Fink also has some instructions on their site.
This is in fact a bug fix, if you can believe that. You will need to create a ~/.xinitrc file that includes a line like this:
exec quartz-wm &
Alternately, you could edit xinitrc file found at/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, but odds are that will be overwritten in the future. Also, Apple will put up a scare box asking you to ignore your new ~/.xinitrc, why I cannot fathom, but you'll want to dismiss it.
