I didn't commit since I recieved the utmp_update warning.

But now I realize the difference. The new package (204) installs xterm 
without setuid privilege.

The difference is the install step:

-       $(SHELL) $(srcdir)/sinstall.sh "$(INSTALL_PROGRAM)" xterm$x 
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm $(BINDIR)/$(binary_xterm)
+       $(SHELL) $(srcdir)/sinstall.sh "$(INSTALL_PROGRAM)" xterm$x 
/usr/pkg/bin/xterm $(BINDIR)/$(binary_xterm)

This sinstall.sh check field 3 to see if previously-installed xterm was 
installed setuid.

So this behaves different based on what is installed.

Since this uses configure script, we can use  --enable-setuid.

What platforms do we want this for?
