Yes that works, but try this instead:

runit_start () {
    /usr/bin/runsv /service &
}

allowing both rc.runit and rc.local to finish (unless you want bash
running continously), however runsv just exits without a trace. This
works with several other of my rc scripts.

In bash '&' normally means background the process, but here the process
just disappears (with no output or exit code).

Using your script none of the rest of rc.local after you start rc.runit
will be executed until rc.runit stops.
