There have been a few "blue smoke on start-up posts". I don't have this problem (at the moment). As juma indicated, this would typically indicate oil leaking past the valve stem seal, onto to the top of the valve. On start-up, the collected oil enters the cylinder and burns, causing blue smoke. The concern would be that over time this would cause deposits on the top of the piston(s). I would take it to the dealer.
