No, but if you have a link that is that slow, consider using some
compressed protocol for transferring your mail to a smarthost. Look
into DJB's serialmail package.
qmail is not a GUI program, but a daemon to work in the background. To
implement what you want, you'd have to hack qmail-remote which would
have to output data to a file/socket/whatever that you could monitor.
Since qmail uses several qmail-remote in parallel, the output would
have to be separated, etc.
Alternatively, use a GUI MUA that sends to your remote host directly
via SMTP. There are several that have some sort of progress indicator.
You can probably also [linux] monitor net traffic and set up something
that counts traffic to the recipient SMTP port from "go" and displays
progress.
