Good news :-)

I'm not sure if you are talking about build time or about runtime. Anyway 
in both cases the answer is no, but it is easy doable.

Also here, it is not possible at the moment, bu it should be doable in a 
bit more effort than the above.

This is an interesting point. As far as I know we can subscribe to some 
events in FBUS protocol. I think it is not possible in AT mode. You get 
the info about the events but only just after sending the request to the 
phone. Example: the RING information from the phone -- it appears only 
after sending any command to the phone.

But why this is interesting. I'm thinking for already few days about low 
level daemon linked with libgnokii that would estabilish a connection with 
the phone(s) when availavle and that would offer D-BUS interface to the 
high level applications to communicate with the phone(s).

The first application I can see here is to display an information about 
incoming SMS and calls with XOSD interface.

take care,
