Maybe they read /usr/ports/UPDATING where 

20051113:
  AFFECTS: users of x11/xterm, x11/xorg-clients, x11/XFree86-4-clients
  AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org

  Xterm no longer installs with '-static' prefix. Users should upgrade
  XFree86-clients to 4.5.0_1 or xorg-clients to 6.8.2_1 or newer before
  attempting upgrade of xterm to 206_1 or newer. Previous versions 
remove
  xterm on deinstall so CONFLICTS have been set accordingly.

It worked for me back in November :).
