If you're talking about built-in JMeter listeners - there is no need to 
have them in the .jmx script, you can always open the.jtl result file 
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/jmeter/JtlFiles> with the 
listener of your choice and it will read the file and display aggregate 
info/render charts/etc.

In case you're adding a custom listener you can

  * have it in the .jmx script in the "disabled" state
  * run your JMeter test via Taurus tool
    <https://www.blazemeter.com/university/complete-taurus-course>
  * Taurus has capability of modifying JMeter scripts
    <https://gettaurus.org/docs/JMeter/#Modifications-for-Existing-Scripts>
    so you can enable the listeners in the runtime
