A recent post mentions that U-Boot now has netconsole features, What type of functionality does this provide?
netconsole pipes stdin or stdout (or both) to a network device
Does this imply a "one-way" output connection only or does it allow a remote connection into the target - similar to telnet.
Pretty much...
Our project requires remote network access to U-Boot because the deployed the system will not include a serial port.
The other end is netcat (see u-boot/doc/README.NetConsole for the appropriate script)

It sounds like this is what you need for your project.
