Although I haven't done so, I'd imagine it's possible. A few things to
consider, however. External GPS antennas for aircraft are usually amplified. The
radio puts 5VDC on the coax and the antenna has a LNA inside it.

Also, to keep impedances correct, the splitter will likely either have to be
lossy, or active.
