Yes, but would anybody want to? On second thought, multi-port serial cards are
available with a PCI interface. I don't really see how the OGD1 could help with
terminal emulation. Any accelerated AAlib rendering would be limited by the
data-rate.
Now, implementing a light pen may be a good fit for the hardware. I think they
fell out of favor because you would be limited to making dark marks on a bright
image. (Touch screens don't care about the color) A light pen may not work with
modern LCDs though.

yes, I think that would be a great idea.
you could have a serial output of whatever is shown on a machine's text
console
you could also add ethernet and have ssh or similar ;)
