You have 2 (or more?) options here.  First, you can make a system wide alias 
in /etc/environment which is something like:

alias xterm="xterm -cr <cursor_color>"

Of course, this assumes you're using Bash.  You'd need to modify it for csh or 
ksh or whatever else you have.

The other, nicer option would be to add the following to /etc/X11/Xresources:

XTerm*cursorColor: <whatever_color_you_want>

Hope this helps,
