Yes; I like this solution since it allows it to be with the bb
itself. BTW a nice alternative would be 

#v+
MD5SUMS = "foo_${PV}.tar.bz/076e48835bee2609a3713b35fb89631c"
SHA1SUMS += "foo_1.0-${PR}.patch/9bfbeca5db4887b62826da6d0169c62c244f6188"
#v-

This is more or less what you though however avoids the requirement to
have it specified at the file.
