What do you mean by this? If Conky outputs as text, you can send it's output to a constantly updating xrootconsole (sorta hackish and not very pretty, and likely you need to install xrootconsole) (printing out_to_console=yes and out_to_x=no). I don't use the program myself, but I think I can see what it does.
If something outputs to the root window of the X display, it will do what you want. I personally use "mpc|xrootconsole" inside my dwm loop (it's not great, and it's not pretty, but it does the job). You might simply want to put "watch ps -aux|xrootconsole" as a script running in the background to keep a constantly updated mpd readout available. So - the answer is - yes, you can, although more information would help a lot.
