Yes,
With python + DBus you can listen for DBus signals and attach
callbacks for them.
Check the docs for FSO pertaining to the SMS API. Particularly this
http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.GSM.SMS.html;hb=HEAD#IncomingMessage
for handling incoming messages

There are lots of docs/tutorials available for the python + dbus
combo. For starters,
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Languages/Python/PyKDE_DBus_Tutorial

Although KDE specific, you should be able to map the docs to FSO.
