On my mbp, I open xterm under X11 and I want to paste from the clipboard. However, command+v doesnt work and there isnt even an option from the edit menu. Is this not possible? If it is, how do I enable it?

Alt + left mouse click should do the job if the button mouse emulation has been enabled. And for some more details check this out http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-18272.html.

Have you tried the Pasteboard settings in X11? Also, a lot of keyboard shortcuts for X11 actually use ctrl instead of Command (like in GIMP and Inkscape).

Secondly, is there a reason that you're using Xterm instead of Terminal?
