Ofd course neglect can cause stuck seatposts, stems, bolts, bottom bracket cups, etc. in any frame made from any material. Periodic removal, cleaning and greasing is required for all types.
However, the OP was asking specifically about Ti frames and if their tendency to suffer stuck seatposts, etc. is worse than other frame materials. Experience tells us they are no more a problem than any other type of frame.
