Setting up SSL Telnet would mean using the Digital Certificate Manager,

Yes.

Is that an administrative nightmare for hundreds of users, or is
there a method of using a 'blanket' cert that would cover an entire box?

Depends ... if you go with a self signed certificate then, yes, it's a PITA ... if you get a real certificate, signed by one of the root CA's, then the certification chain is built into the OS (I think).
