The simpliest solution is to use "xwd" from the x11/xbase-clients
package. Enter the following command in an xterm:

 $ xwd -root -out shot.xwd

The .xwd file you get can be converted into other formats using 
"convert" from the graphics/imagemagick package:

 $ convert -quality 80 shot.xwd shot.jpg

(Use the -quality option to affect the compression level of the JPEG
file. 75% is a reasonable compromise).
