You've got some options.

Under Applications/Utilities you can find a copy of "Terminal".  It works, 
but it kind of sucks.

If you installed the X server which is available on the DVD, you can 
launch the X server and run Xterm itself.  X is available in 
Applications/Utilities/X11.

Personally I prefer iTerm.  It works nice and is tabbed:
