Sure. There was a pumakins module available in the original NIST implementation of EMC. In fact Fred Proctor showed me the Puma they had implemented it for. But it gets even better because there are pumakins.c and pumakins.h in the current git version. I'm not familiar enough with the current file structure to see if puma has a current graphical sim display but I know that other robots like SCARA do.
