I have no idea about yelp... but

If you just want to switch from Apple X11 to Fink Xorg, just follow
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-packages.php#cant-install-xfree

If you want to continue to use X11 icon and quatz-wm window manager,
install applex11tools, with which you can get the same environment as
Apple X11 with new Xorg.
See: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/applex11tools

Installing applex11tools is a bit wierd (you need X11User.pkg in your
home or somewhere as guided during installation). That is the only
pain I have experienced.
