Yea, it's possible to do so.  Right now the popup occurs if a message
is either to or from your callsign/SSID.  We could easily change it
to update the dialog if it exists, but only pop up when a message
comes in from someone else.  I think that might be a fairly minor
tweak, but then again the code might suprise me.  It might get into
the same kind of thing as the bulletins used to do though:  Pop up
everytime a message comes in, even if it's a repeat.  It'd at least
stop the popups for transmitted messages, so it'd be a net gain.

Usually I just leave the window up but hide it behind the main Xastir
window, and that way it becomes much less annoying.
