I find it rather confusing why the ports system bitches about these kinds
of conflicts.  So, in order to upgrade xterm, I must first _remove_
xorg-clients?

I had similar problems upgrading Gnome to 2.12 using the upgrade script.
It seems that if you specify -R to rebuild all the dependencies that this
shouldn't be a problem.

# portupgrade -Rf xorg-clients

--->  Installing the new version via the port
===>  Installing for xterm-206_1

===>  xterm-206_1 conflicts with installed package(s): 
      xorg-clients-6.8.2

      They install files into the same place.
      Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
