The following may help reproduce it.  Below is the state of my pkgdb at the
time of my troubles.

Take a system with a good install of xorg and xterm.  Then 'pkg_delete -f'
xorg-clients and xterm.  Then try to 'portupgrade -NO' them back in.
I don't know for sure if that will reproduce the problem or not, but its
a close approximation of where I was when I was having troubles.

More pointedly, what is up with this message:

===>   xorg-clients-6.8.2_1 depends on package: xterm>0 - not found

Is there really a package named "xterm>0" ?
