Depends.

I'm pretty sure Apple's own web browser (Cyberdog) does include telnet,  
considering I've used it repeatedly to telnet into my Linux box.

Then again, Apple has just about abandoned Cyberdog.

On the other hand, MacOS does include Netscape these days, and it should  
be fairly easy to convince Netscape to cancel just about anything.
