Sort of, for the above you would do:

SRC_URI_append_at91sam9263ek = " file://atmel/atmel.patch;patch=1"
SRC_URI_append_at32stk1000 = " file://atmel/atmel.patch;patch=1"
SRC_URI_append_at572d940hf = " file://atmel/atmel.patch;patch=1"
SRC_URI_append_beta1 = " file://beta/beta.patch;patch=1"
SRC_URI_append_beta2 = " file://beta/beta.patch;patch=1"
SRC_URI_append_beta3 = " file://beta/beta.patch;patch=1"
SRC_URI_append_caesar1 = " file://caesar/caesar.patch;patch=1"
SRC_URI_append_caesar2 = " file://caesar/caesar.patch;patch=1"

The linux-omap_2.6.29.bb recipe has something like that since I had to 
find a way to retain my sanity with that amount of patches.
