This is standard functionality in APM and can be accomplished with either auto or guided modes.
Auto mode would be used if the uav is on the ground; you would send it a mission like
1 - take off to X meters
2 - Fly to GPS coordinates G
3 - Loiter (hover)
Guided mode allows you to send GPS coordinates when the UAV is already in the air http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/ac2_guidedmode/
At least one of the android-based mission planners (probably both?) supports using Guided mode in a 'follow me' mode where the drone flies to the location of the GPS-enabled android device.
