I just tried this on current lucid:

echo "XTerm*reverseVideo: on" > ~/.Xresources

then logged out and back in (with the GNOME session), and I indeed get:

$ xrdb -query
XTerm*reverseVideo: on
[...]

and xterm is white-on-black now. /etc/gdm/Xsession in lucid has code to handle custom resources:

userresources="$HOME/.Xresources"
[...]
if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -nocpp -merge "$userresources"
