Hm, does the meta key work in other apps?  I have no clue about *bsd
stuff -- only faced this irritance myself for about 10 minutes before
I quit.  I would check if that key has a key-sym (in Linux parlance).

btw, do you really have a "meta" key?  or are you referring to the
"Alt" key?

GNU Emacs acquired color-capability in ttys only with version 21
(recently release).  Please upgrade.  You'll love the tty coloring
capabilities.
