Depends exactly what you mean:

./configure --with-pkg1=foo1 --with-pkg2=bar2

or

./configure --with-pkg=foo1,bar2

In the former case, call AC_ARG_WITH twice with differnt first arguments.

In the later, call it once and use it's third (and possibly fourth)
arguments to examine $withval and parse it into foo1 and bar2, such as via

ac_save_IFS=$IFS
for p in $withval; do
  IFS=$ac_save_IFS
  # add $p to list of packages to use as pkg.
done
