"xsrc" is a separate tree - see

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/?only_with_tag=MAIN

however, it's mostly empty, and the Git mirror

https://github.com/NetBSD/xsrc

doesn't have much source-code (for some reason, even emptier).
In particular, there is no xterm source-code.
While a distribution can provide tarballs from other places,
those aren't part of the source-tree.

"src" contains only hooks such as

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/external/mit/xorg/bin/xterm/?only_with_tag=MAIN

to build using source from outside the tree.
