Tonight I noticed that aterm has disappeared from /sw/bin.  I've tried
removing it and reinstalling it, but it's still not there.  The
install doesn't report any errors, and if I run dpkg -l aterm it
claims I've installed version 0.4.2-3.  Nevertheless, it's no longer
in /sw/bin.

Anyone know what might have happened?

If you look at your build log, you see that there were errors like

utmp.c: In function 'makeutent':
utmp.c:200: error: 'struct utmpx' has no member named 'ut_exit'

that prevented the compilation of the aterm. I don't know why the build process ignores these errors instead of openly crashing. In any case, there is some serious porting to do before this will work on Tiger (maintainer CCed). The problem is that Tiger now has a header file utmpx.h which didn't exist before, but it is not compatible with the file of the same name on linux.
