Engine start without pumps

Is it possible to start engines without any external (non-engine) fuel pumps running? I'm thinking of the 737-800 but perhaps all airliners are similar (?) in this respect. If you can start them without any fuel pumps running, what are the consequences, apart from warnings or alarms? I'm guessing that they might run at idle on the ground but that any other circumstances might cause problems (?).
