Sounds like you might have told X the wrong mouse type, if that doesn't work. > I'm beginning to suspect that the reason I'm not able to copy/paste > with xterm is that I discovered that gmp was not installed as part of > the basic debian package.

Let me save you a wild goose chase: X doesn't require gpm for any kind of mouse support. gpm is only for the console. Installing it might make your life slightly more complicated, because suddenly you have to worry about repeaters and /dev/gpmdata and weird stuff like that.
