It _looks_ possible:

case ${local_startup} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
        ;;
*)
        echo -n 'Local package initialization:'
        for dir in ${local_startup}; do
                if [ -d "${dir}" ]; then
                        for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do
                                if [ -x "${script}" ]; then
                                        (set -T
                                         trap 'exit 1' 2
                                         ${script} start)
                                fi
                        done
                fi
        done
        echo .
        ;;

why not give it a try and tell us?
