I agree with Marshall and I'm not all for the remote starters. My wife wants one for her Subaru, but I'm just not keen on letting vehicles sit out there burning fuel so that you can be warmer for the first couple minutes.
That said... I don't see any reason it couldn't be done. Now, the professional installers may not want to do it (probably for similar reasons they don't want to touch manual trannies) because of some liability reasons. But the simple fact is that If you get the glow plugs to come on, then the starter to crank, the engine will start. Both of those are just a matter of relays in the right places. Your hard part is likely to be finding the remote starter system that works best how you want it, and/or modifying it to handle the glow plug timing.
