What Noah said is correct: the BSD license is plain and simple and
puts no restrictions on you if you want to reuse part or all of some
code for commercial purposes. You're free to do what you like and
charge what you like as long as you credit the author(s) and do
everything at your own profit and risk.

However, note that not all plugins at trac-hacks.org and elsewhere are
licensed as BSD. The extensive freedom of the license also allows
people to re-license their own custom code building on Trac work using
another license - which may not be as permissive. Personally I shy
away from reading/reusing ANY code licensed as (L)GPL due to its
uncertain infectionous nature - and recommend the same for you to
avoid future surprises in your commercial venture...

As for the purely commercial aspect of your question, it is still an
open question if the community would be willing to pay for plugins. It
is totally unchartered territory for us AFAIK. It would be fun to
continue that discussion some day when you have had some real-life
experience with your commercial offering.
