That bug is complaining that xterm is installed, and requests that it not be necessary. I don't see how this leads to virtual/term, though. After all, they didn't request Gentoo to make sure there is a terminal installed. How about making a local USE "xterm" for xorg-x11, then adding it to the default list? Then such users can USE=3D-xterm and they'll be all set.
