Well it depends - if you’ve already got an X session (a GUI session) up, then you can run GUI programs from the command line with no problem (it’ll tie up your console session so you won’t be able to do other things though).
Otherwise, then no sadly - I did once see a project that would let you do that, but I can’t remember the URL now
(I resent being called a nerd, even though it’s probably true ;))
