To download xterm you'll need to use internet connection. This is the right
repository (you may add it to your repository list if you don't have it
yet):

In case you download a deb package (say, for example,
free42_1.4.27-hildon1_armel.deb), then you may open it with the Application
Manager, and you won't need internet connection to successfully install the
package.

Of course, once you get an xterm, you can also say:
# dpkg -i free42_1.4.27-hildon1_armel.deb
And this will install the package, too.
