    $pkg_which /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm-static
    xterm-200_2 xorg-clients-6.8.2 xterm-202

    If you updated any of these ports, or any other port that includes that xterm
    binary this would cause the mssage. All it means is that the file has
    changed, It warns you SUID (permissions set so the file always runs as a
    specific user - usually root) files have changed incase a hacker puts trojan
    programs on your system. If you have updated or rebuilt any of the above
    ports the message can be safely ignored (this is almost certinaly what
    happened). Hope this helps.
