As far as I know, the unit's Bluetooth radio will function as a serial
port - although whether you can address the GPS receiver over it is
anyone's guess.
This is certainly possible. I use an iPaq 6510. For this particular
unit, the GPS port is hardwired to COM7. I use Franson GPSGate to
redirect the GPS sentences from COM7 to the bluetooth enabledCOM5.
