net-misc/netkit-telnetd contains client and server.

emerge search is useless.
Emerge eix, run update-eix, and do eix telnet

If you just need a client, you can also use the one in busybox:

`busybox telnet`

It should be preinstalled (belongs to system, not world).

Or do "sudo ln -s busybox /bin/telnet" and you can call it as telnet.

In that case, I would link it to /usr/local/bin/telnet. Otherwise you
might (?) overwrite your busybox when you ever try to emerge another
telnet client who provides /bin/telnet.
