Yes.
If you are using X (which I assume you are since you say you are running
windowmaker), it might be as simple as adding:
xterm -display :0 -e licq &
to ip-up. If this doesn't work, it will still be possible, it just might
be more complicated.

licq needs to be running on a (virtual) console, so something like that
will not work.

echo doesn't care what it is talking to since it doesn't do anything
'clever' to the console.
