Yes this will work if you enable CONFIG_TELNETD and CONFIG_TELNETD_STANDALONE 
in the busybox configuration. telnetd will not be started automatically though, 
you will need to add an initscript. However I would suggest you consider using 
ssh if you have no reason not to - you won't need to do any additional work 
then.

This file is provided by shadow, so you'd need to add that to your 
IMAGE_INSTALL (or POKY_EXTRA_INSTALL).

Cheers,
