After looking at the script I do not expect to run with a linux shell
(it specially looks if it is running on FreeBSD amd64).

Have you actually checked if you have xterm in your path ("which
xterm")? If not, do this now and if it is missing, install it and try
again. If it is in your path, you can continue with debugging as
described below.
Replace the
exec $BINARY_DIR/bf2 "$@"
with
/usr/bin/ktrace -i $BINARY_DIR/bf2 "$@"
This will create a file ktrace.out in the current directory. Install
the linux_kdump package (the port is too much hassle, it's really
better to take the package) and run the linux_kdump. It will have a
look at the ktrace.out in the current directory and output a lot of
text. Review the text from the end on backwards to anything related to
xterm. Maybe you can see if it tries to access some file it does not
find.
Bye,
Alexander.
