Sure, but first you have to kill X. Then type startx from the telnet
session. Of course this means that netscape/X will run as whatever user
your telnet session is logged in as. And furthermore you may have to nohup
it and redirect it's output so that you can disconnection without stopping
it also. Something like this should do:
nohup startx > /dev/null 2>&1 &
You might also have to set DISPLAY=:0
And you might still have trouble with the ICEauthority thingy for X
