Then you're out of luck: you need a connection to the X server under
program control.  xterm has a connection, but isn't programmable in
this way and the xterm manpage doesn't mention the clipboard; xemacs
is Turing-complete, but has no X connection.  You could open a frame
on the relevant X server from your xterm, or open a tty frame in the
xterm using gnuclient, then this should work:

(defun copy-to-clipboard (s e)
  (interactive "r")
  (own-selection (buffer-substring s e) 'CLIPBOARD))
