assumming the machine your are telnetting from (I'll call it local) is running x you should be able to telnet to the remote machine and set the DISPLAY variable to the local machine. export DISPLAY ip.of.local.machine:0 then starting any x app will try to connect to the X server running on the local box. You wil hopfully need to grant access to the remote box with something like xhost +ip.of.remote.machine BTW if you were using ssh which is WAY more secure if you have the updates you can configure it to do the X forwarding thing automatically.
