I think you want the telnet-bsd ebuild for telnet.
(I don't use telnet to login to systems; I usually use it as a diagnostics
tool -- ie, telnet to a server on port 389, 110, 443, 8080, etc. as needed.)

I think you want to do this instead:
$ qpkg -f /usr/bin/ktelnet
>From the qpkg man page:
Package Selection:
-f, --find-file Finds package that owns file <file>
-Dan
P.S. I'd highly recommend sending mail from an address other than 'root' :-)
