I have XFree86 version 4.2 and tried to apply your patch
but the code in xc/programs/xterm bears no resemblance
to your patch. I couldn't even apply the patch by hand.
Are you using a different source tree or are there other
patches involved.
I downloaded some fonts from somewhere and If I try
xterm -u8 -fn \
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-75-75-c-0-unicode-0 \
-e luit -g2 'GB 2312'
the xterm will display chinese but the xterm is somewhat insane.
the text is spread out to a follows

Where can I find these fonts? Are the part of the x-distribution
4.2 and if so what are there names?

I tried rxvt. If I try
export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.gbk
rxvt
I will get chinese displayed ok. If I try
rxvt -km gb
I get an error message
rxvt: no similar multichar font: encoding GB; size 14
and I don't know what its looking for with no chinese.
