 There is a program called Timidity, which is able

 from patchsets (GUS?).
 
 Is there any GPLed/OpensSource Software, which does
 the same thing but for notes I am playing on the
 midi keyboard?

Either use a virtual keyboard (vkeybd, vmpk, drumstick-vpiano), or use
aconnect to connect the MIDI in of your hardware MIDI keyboard to the MIDI
out of timidity. You can use qjackctl as a gui for that. The name is
misleading in this case – there is no need to run jack in order to connect
alsa's MIDI channels.

Maybe 'media-sound/lmms' is what you are looking for?

not really...it plays samples (sound files). GUS patches
are of higher quality as far as I know...
