Yes it is possible.  You just need to tell mdb where to read the
debugger commands from (since you presumable don't want to redirect that
to the same place).

One way to do it is to start up a new xterm and to set the option
--mdb-tty in the MERCURY_OPTIONS environment variable to point the the
tty device of this xterm.  (See the section on MERCURY_OPTIONS in the
Environment Variables section of the Mercury Users' Guide.
