One possible work around might be to do start bash, source the script, then start fish. This won't help if the script contains functions, but if it's just environment variables then you might be able to get away with it. We don't have a converter for standard shell scripts at this stage, although there is a development prototype on https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/522#issuecomment-21585782 - YMMV.
