I would say that depends on when the radio was made. Older Yaesu's, such as the FT-757 and even the FT-727 had a "CAT" interface which allows data from a computer to set the operating parameters of the radio.
Other radios in the Yaseu line, Such as the FT-5100 have a few lines for the buttons, like band sellect and channel up and down. Which can allow 'poor mans remote base'. Others take a serial data stream down the mic jack to do control of the radio. You would have to get a logic analyzer or digital storage scope to disect the protocol though.
