yes, it is possible. you have to use the same mechanism as it is used
by other graphical options, i.e. put a trace on the vmd_frame variable.

there are a number of examples around, all you have to do is to replace
the script code that draws the graphics with script code that draws the
text you would like to see. please note, that text output is currently not
exported to external renderes, for technical reasons.

cheers,
