Maybe they read /usr/ports/UPDATING where 20051113: AFFECTS: users of x11/xterm, x11/xorg-clients, x11/XFree86-4-clients AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 :).
