No, not in the currently released version.  The next version (3.80) will
have a capability that can perform the same type of thing (plus more),
although it will not have the same syntax.  It will be released "Real
Soon Now".

You can find a pretest at:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/

if you like.


For the current versions all you can do is utilize GNU make's
auto-re-exec feature to dynamically construct makefile parts.
