No.

There is no longer a terminal entry in the right-click-on-desktop menu.

There *is* a terminal entry in the main menus.  If it is the same as
FC4, it's Applications::System Tools::Terminal.  I usually create a
panel button for this anyway.

Additionally, there is a nautilus plugin in Fedora Extras
(nautilus-actions) that allows you to add a nautilus-right-click-menu
entry for the terminal or any other program.
