GPS Support in terms of download waypoints/tracks/routes from your
GPS, or GPS Support in terms of decoding NMEA sentences?

The latter is in there by default.  The former requires that GPSMan
be available when Xastir was configured/compiled.  You can check for
the former one in the code by checking whether the "Fetch GPS Track"
and similar options are available in your "Interface" menu.
