I created the /etc/portage/env/x11-terms directory and added the xterm 
file with the following contents.

EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-regis-graphics --enable-sixel-graphics 
--enable-256-color --enable-screen-dumps"

When I emerged x11-terms/xterm and texted everything worked exactly like 
I wanted it to.

I ended up not doing this.  -  I thought I had hacked one of the VT 
terminal types to use more than 16 colors, but my testing worked without 
doing this.  So I'm leaving well enough alone.

Thank you again for your help.
