I'm pretty sure the only way to do that is for peoples' telnet client software to be configured to use a different port (it wouldn't be done on the server). It's not your domain that points to port 23, the standard default telnet port is 23, so if you try to connect to a site via telnet, by default your client will use port 23 if you don't specify one.
