there is a configure option --with-xterm that will let you set your
default terminal emulator if you want to compile ratpoison from
source. Otherwise, you can rebind the keys that rely on xterm:

:bind ^exclam colon exec kterm -e
:bind c kterm
:bind ^c kterm

just bind the key like you would any other and it will be
rebound.
