It's possible to set the size of xterm and emacs using x-resources.
Here is part of the x-resources I use for XEmacs:

! Geometry changes based on screen size:
#if ( HEIGHT == 900 ) /* Traditional Sparc */
Emacs.geometry: 81x55+0+0
#elif ( HEIGHT == 1024 ) /* Sparc 21 inch */
Emacs.geometry: 81x63+0+0
#elif ( HEIGHT == 768 ) /* Exceed in 1024x768 mode */
Emacs.geometry: 81x46+0+0
#elif ( HEIGHT == 1200 ) /* My home machine, 1600x1200 use side x side layout */
! No good w. 10x20 Emacs*xmh.geometry: 81x68+757+105
Emacs.geometry: 81x56
#else /* I have no idea... */
Emacs.geometry: 81x40+0+0
#endif
