I would have to guess that this is entirely possible otherwise Mars and Moon missions would be shots-in-the-dark. The software to do this is most likely completely different from that which predicts simple satellites around one planet. Tracking other planets relative to ours would be more like predicting angles and velocities from one LEO to another LEO. The software would need to contain the "keps" of the solar system, and then give results from the perspective of one of the satellites. This software probably already exists, but in the proprietary domain.
On second thought, the software that runs the fully-automated personal telescopes already does most of this, except for the relative velocity part.
