Coming from Unix, I would expect qgis to talk to gpsd, which would manage whatever kind of GNSS receiver you have. There is no good reason from a software organization viewpoint to replicate code dealing with the various kinds of things in multiple programs that just need position. But, if it's just "connect to this address/port and expect NMEA", it's not so bad.
