No.  

Many host systems that GDB supports don't even have parallel ports.
Those that do don't suport the same set of capabilites (other than
open/close and write, those are pretty standard :-).

I don't have enough bandwidth free to directly contribute, but I'll be
available to advise when the time comes.  I suspect that many of the GDB
hackers are in the same boat, but I'll let them speak for themselves.
