Maybe use the "minimal" use flag :).

But seriously, the request is silly. I guess the user wouldn't have
complained if xterm was never split out of the main xorg-x11 ebuild.
After all, nobody has officially complained about useless stuff like
xman, xeyes, xedit, xcalc... being installed -- all part of the
official x distribution (from what I gather from another post in this
thread).
