Hello,

I don't see any reason why you can't. We (Xilinx) have a display port
device in QEMU that we use.

Basically how it works is you model the devices registers and use
QEMUs display backend (usually over SDL or VNC) to display the image.

Here is a pretty recent example of a display port device in QEMU:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/hw/display/xlnx_dp.c

In saying that display devices are pretty intense and this will not be
a trivial task.

Thanks,
Alistair
