If they throw seeds, I don't see why not.
You can always re-seed annually. Bluebonnet seeds are not expensive, but
most annual "stands" of bluebonnet I see around here seem to seed
themselves and come back every year.
The moss roses will freeze back also. I almost never have them come back
unless they seeded themselves.
I thought that portulaca was a perennial. In any case, I don't know
about annuals choking out grass, but there are some ground covers that
will--veronica is one. That was my other choice. But I thought that
would be even more difficult for bluebonnets to make their way through
next year. (What will choke one thing will probably choke another...)
There is always native clover. ;-)
I was hoping someone else had some Actual Experience with these two
plants.

I grow moss roses in pots because I like them, and they remind me of my
late mom. She grew them every year, but we just put them in containers.
Never used them as a ground cover.
Sorry!
