Try installing the autocutsel package.

autocutsel-0.3-1: Merges two cut buffers used by X apps - an automated
"xcutsel".
 Gives a working cut and paste between Aqua and those X apps that
 only check one cut buffer.
 .
 Usage Notes:
 just put 'autocutsel &' in your .xinitrc file.
 .

 .
 Packaging Notes:
 Uses custom Makefile.

By the way, I copied the output above from an Eterm window, and pasted into
Entourage, so that should prove that it works :-)
