 You must have accidentally installed the xterm version for -current,
 as opposed to the one for FreeBSD 2.2. :-(
 
 Are our XFree86 mirrors confused now?  (The symlink between 2.2 and
 current has recently been removed on XFree86's master site, to allow
 for different versions for xdm and xterm in -current.)

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

 Hmm.  I installed from ftp3.freebsd.org.  It had the best connection
 on the day I installed.
