It seems Apple loves stirring the stinking mess that is Java on the Mac. 
This time they moved the JavaVirtualMachines directory from 
/System/Library/Java, where fink expects to find it for java-1.6.0, to 
/Library/Java. If you don't want to wait until a new version of fink 
fixes this, you can do the following:

Edit (as root) the file /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/VirtPackage.pm and change 
line 438 from

$javadir = '/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions' if 
$javadir =~ /System/;

to

$javadir = '/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions' if 
($javadir =~ /System/  or $ver =~ /1.6.0/);

that is, add "or $ver =~ /1.6.0/" to the if clause at the end of the line.

Then system-java16-dev should show up as installed, and you can proceed.
