By "model" do you mean the FDM model or the graphical model?

You could certainly run the FDM model externally and use one
of the many Network I/O options in FlightGear to pass data
back and forth.  Quite a few research projects have done this in
the past to use FlightGear as a visualization tool.  By extension
you could do the same for scripting - have the scripting run
externally and interact with FlightGear via one of these protocols.

In theory you might be able to do the same with the graphical
model but it would suffer from the same issue that Curt highlighted
earlier.
