Yes. For the code in SVN you can write:

gpsim> load mysource.cod U1

And this will assign the processor the name 'U1'. This will then allow 
you to write to the processor attributes:

gpsim> U1.xpos = 300.0  # move the chip over in the breadboard window

To see a list of all attributes associated with the processor type:

gpsim> symbol U1.

(Note the '.' at the end, it's important!).

Yes, there was a change recently. The processor name was being assigned 
by gpsim whenever the processor was instantiated (i.e. the .cod file was 
loaded). This was hard coded, but there was (and still is) a way to 
specify the processor name prior to loading the code. Now, the main 
reason for the change was not so much to remove this hard coded 
behavior, but to unify the way modules (e.g. UARTS) and processors are 
handled internally to gpsim.
