How do you determine that?

It does if you tell it to have one.  man xterm:

$ xterm -sb

The xterm under FreeBSD is *identical* with that under Linux, assuming
you're both using the same X server (either XFree86 or XI Graphics
($)).  The performance depends mainly on your hardware.  If you want
xterm to display colour, set your TERM variable to xterm-color:

TERM=xterm-color xterm -sb
