No way to do it via FVWM AFAIK, but there is a mechanism within
xterm to change the window and/or icon titles. Details may depend
on which flavor of xterm you're using -- the one in Red Hat 6.2
documents an escape sequence which a Solaris xterm doesn't recognize
(but fortunately the Linux xterm actually accepts both sequences,
so I get by with using the Solaris escapes regardless of which type
of host the xterm is executing on).

IIRC I found the escape sequences documented in the tcsh manpage, not
the xterm manpage. Go figure.
