All I can say is experiment. I would guess that you would probably need to do it with a manual press and do 2 passes so as to avoid the buttons. Or, you could cut a small section out of a squegee so it will pass over the buttons, but you won't get any ink coverage down the whole center of the shirt.
If you're using a manual press you can squegee sideways, too. The screens have more of a tendancy to move with sideways pressure, though, so be careful if you're doing more than 1 color or making more than 1 pass. I would avoid printing dark fabrics with this method. The second pass will almost never line up exactly with the first.
Also, SanMar has some jerseys. Another company is Dodger Sportswear, but I don't have the contact info in front of me. If I find my catalog I'll post the info.

I believe Action has pallets with an indent in the middle for the placket to sit down in making the print surface more flush acroos the shirt. You can also take some pallet rubber and glue onto top of existing pallet two strips on either side of the placket to get the same effect. Roadside is correct that most top quality shirts of this nature are stitched.
