Actually that would be more of a pain in the ars than it's worth because you have to figure the pinout as well as solder a bunch of wires AND figure a power source. It's a no go. What about a PDA on a serial connection? Or just break down and get the patheticly cheap piece of crud 15" LCD at Costco. Finally if you really want to tweak some hardware look at these links: http://www.matrixorbital.com/ http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/ More available just not off the top of my head.
