Not exactly.  While qgit has knowledge of StGIT stacks and displays
unapplied patches [1], gitk does not, and requesting a branch only
shows the applied patches.  I have no opinion whether gitk should be
taught about them, but I'd like it to be usable on them anyway.

One thing that qgit also does not show, but which I regularly use when
viewing StGIT stacks in gitk, is the ancestry of unapplied patches
(eg. you can see at first glance whether an unapplied patch is
uptodate, or has not been ported yet atop the currently-applied ones.

[1] BTW, as of 1.5.3 it displays them backwards, causing all sors of
problems - I've not yet collected all of my comments for you, but at
least that one is sent now ;)
