noo.....don't think so either.
I have a Casio QVR-4, and it cannot do this. I checked around for software that would make it able to do this, but with no luck.
Let me know if you find anything like this.

Actually, I think the Canon "remote control" software included with the camera allowed one to get the live viewfinder image on your computer screen.

I'm not quite sure how you would go about piping this input into another program, but it would probably be possible...

There is now an OS X version of Remote Capture available here.
