I guess so (I kind of like to keep the system curses available - ymmv).

As written, the upper 8 colors shouldn't be rendered then - it just prints
a number into "\E[3%dm", for instance, which is assumed to be in the range
0-7.  (ncurses can code 16 colors, but still needs a properly-written
terminal description; Solaris curses codes only 8).

I put a better terminfo for teraterm in my ncurses patches a few weeks ago.
That's in the rollup patch under the 4.2 directory (the one on the web
site has some errors in color handling):
