Can 1st *RTW Segment be a "Surface Sector"?

I've looked at the * RTW Rules, and have a question for those who have done this before:

If I buy my *RTW ex-JNB or CPT, to get the good price, but I already have my tranportation from SA to FRA settled on a non-star carrier, can I "start" my ex-JNB RTW in FRA, calling the JNB-FRA portion a "surface segment"? The JNB-FRA miles would count towards MPM. I know this kind of thing is allowed in the middle of RTW trips, but can I start off this way?
