I don't think so.
Quoting script-interface.cc:
Stencil
Script_interface::get_stencil (Grob *me, Direction d)
{
SCM s = me->get_property ("script-stencil");
assert (scm_is_pair (s));
SCM key = scm_car (s);
if (key == ly_symbol2scm ("feta"))
{
SCM name_entry = scm_cdr (s);
SCM str = ((scm_is_pair (name_entry)) ? index_get_cell (name_entry, d)
: name_entry);
return Font_interface::get_default_font (me)
->find_by_name ("scripts." + ly_scm2string (str));
}
else
assert (false);
return Stencil ();
}
Although I dont know C++ it seems to be clear that only glyphs from
feta with the scripts-prefix are allowed.
Here I've to drop the ball.
Therefore my use of stencil, _not_ script-stencil.

If you know the script-direction it is no problem.
Though, afaik, you _don't_ know it at the time the stencils are read.
I think the "Script_engraver" knows the direction and chooses the
correct glyph to create the correct Script-type.
But again, this is done after direction is known, I found no way to
create a stencil _and_ to get the direction from somewhere.
At least if you want the stencil to be inserted in
default-script-alist, it _is_ possible to override Script-stencil
afterwards, sth like:
<not-working-pseudo-code>
\override Script #'stencil =
(let ((dir (ly:grob-property grob 'direction)))
(if (= dir 1)
stencil-1
stencil-2)))
Though, with this it would be superfluous to deal with default-script-alist.
