Have a look at gpsd (cf http://gpsd.berlios.de/).  It is designed for
that, and can provide the tracking data to other apps, such as moving
maps, et al.  It can even act as a client of a PPS signal and provide
the tod and pps info to ntpd via the shared mem reference clock (#28).

That's the how.  I'll leave the how well for someone who has had the
opportunity to actually try it out.  (I'm gps-less at the moment....)
