Yes, it does. But not out of the box. The man page for xterm explains
the options.
In short there is a configurable option selectToClipboard, which makes
selects to go into the clipboard *instead of* the primary selection. Not
selecting to the primary selection can have disadvantages in the co-work
of Linux applications.
A better option is to select into both, the clipboard and the primary
selection. The man page does also have a suggestion for it. I am using:
XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
...
<Btn1Up>: select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0)
