Yes, QGIS has no problems to show some data in real-time. This is one of the features of map canvas: on top of the rendered map you can put arbitrary number of items which can be updated whenever needed. I have implemented something similar in one project: http://www.mapserver.sk/~wonder/qnavigator/ There's also a simulator of GPS: You can put some waypoints on the map and it will be simulating GPS input and drawing the position, following the waypoints with speed you've set.
