No, you can't activate gestures from a script. You can do similar things from a script though: play animations, play sounds, and output chat text. There are some gotchas though, like people will see the chats in object chat color and you'll have to rename the prim to match yours if you want it to look like it is coming from you.

EDIT: Oh. I should add that it MIGHT be possible to activate a gesture using a chat trigger by offering the user a dialog with the exact chat trigger as the button text, but I've never tried it and I'd remain very skeptical until it is tested.
