I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.
If you mean, would it be possible to use remapGlyph() to display
something printable if lists used UT_UCS_Bullet but the user didn't
have that character in the font, then the answer is yes with caveats.
remapGlyphs() doesn't change anything except which character is
displayed. There is no opportunity to change fonts, sizes, or
decorations like bold. Within those caveats, it's a simple matter of
adding a mapping for UT_UCS_Bullet to the default list in
preferences.
If you're asking if the upcoming smart quotes feature could be used to
insert a UT_UCS_Bullet when the user types something else, I suppose
it would be possible, though I'd have to know more specifics before I
could be sure.
My guess is that you don't mean either of those things, so can you
elaborate?
