Also many of the auto tuners can be controlled through DDUtil also ..

The short answer is no, not currently. The d-sub connector isn't a serial
port, it is a FlexWire port. As such, you have to design an IC2 hardware
interface to connect to it and the peripheral you want to talk to and then
write code to control it. To date, there is not anything like that available.

On a different tack, I have an Elecraft KAT100 which I would like to
interface to the 5K - is this possible using the D connector on the back of
the Flex?
TIA

Bill,
The MFJ-998 is an automatic antenna tuner. If you set the FLEX-5000
internal tuner to BYP (Bypass), then clicking on TUN will cause the
FLEX-5000 (or SDR-1000 for that matter) to transmit a carrier at the tune
power level. With the MFJ-998 in automatic mode, it should tune
automatically. Click TUN again to return to normal operation.

Is there any provision in the hardware or software in the Flex-5000 to
support an external tuner such as the MFJ-998 and similar?
Thanks,
