Sure, use C-Shell style wildcards:

DEPENDS+=	{pgp2-x.*,pgp5-y.*,gnupg-z.*}:../../some/default

This will also work with binary packages. (Of course :-)

Packages.txt, #10.2: 

   First, check that your package is complete, compiles and runs well; see
   section 8 and the rest of this document. Then, generate a gzipped
   tar-file of all the files needed for the package, preferably with all
   files in a single directory. Place this tar-file to a place where the
   package maintainers can fetch it using FTP or HTTP (WWW). Finally,
   send-pr with category "pkg", a synopsis which includes the package name
   and version number, a short description of your package
   (contents of pkg/COMMENT are OK) and the URL of your tar-file.

   You will be notified if your send-pr has been addressed so you can remove
   the tar-file.
