Try this:
emerge --search telnet
This will list various telnet packages (both clients and daemons) and their current status.
If you find a telnet client uninstalled, then try:
emerge
Note that there were some telnet-related security concerns in Gentoo, so you might want to make sure these packages are updated.
Hope this helped! If not, please provide some more detailed information.
That second statement about emerge did not show up right - it should say:
If you find a telenet client uninstalled, you can install it by typing:
emerge packagename
replacing packagename with the desired package such as telnet-bsd or putty
Hope this helps!
