Kind'a sort'a.

If you don't go into debug mode then you'll only see "GGA" or "RMC"
appear very briefly on the status line (on the left).  That's not
much to go on though.

If you turn on some debugging, you can see lots of stuff scroll by,
including the NMEA sentences, and watch what Xastir does with them.

Start Xastir from an Xterm like this:

    xastir -v 128 &

I got the "128" from the DEBUG_LEVELS file.

Once you get practiced at reading the output, you might be able to
find what you need.
