The question: On my LAN, when I telnet to a Mac OS X machine
and use "less" to look at a file, when I quit it, the only
remaining data on the screen is the command invoking the
activity. However, when I telnet to a FreeBSD box and do the
same thing, all the scrolled text is left in the terminal
window. Is there (a hopefully simple) means of making the
FreeBSD boxes behave like the Mac OS X boxes?

"export LESS=X", or "less -X", read man page why.
