"Can our OEM Sirius sat radio antenna support a GPS?"
Probably not, unless it is specifically designed for both services. Satellite Radio sits at 2320.0-2345.0 MHz, and GPS is at 1575.42 MHz, in the RF spectrum. The antennas for these services are amplified to permit sucessful reception here on earth of the extremely weak signals (usually below the ambient electronic noise levels, in fact) from the satellites; hence, they use sharply-tuned amplifiers, and unless the antenna amplifier is designed for both bands, satisfactory dual-service operation is not likely.
