I don't think so.  Keep track of which ports you deleted the 
dependencies from, then when you have the whole xorg-clients/xterm mess 
sorted out, just force a re-install of those packages and the right 
dependencies will come back.  Time consuming, but not rocket science ;-)

I had to do something like that when interrupting gnome_upgrade early 
seems to bugger everything a treat, but I got everything back OK (I think!).
