x11/xorg-clients port does not conflict with any version of xterm. Where do 
you see that?

Versions of x11/xterm port prior to xterm-206_1 do not install 'xterm' 
executable. The above would cause xorg-clients port to try to install xterm 
even if xterm-206 (for example) is alredy installed which would then fail.
