Yup.  See gcc's Makefile for examples of how to do this.
They do it like this:

multilib.out : multilib.ts ; @true
multilib.ts : [dependencies]
	foo > multilib.tmp
	$(SHELL) $(srcdir)/move-if-change multilib.tmp multilib.out
	echo timestamp > multilib.ts

The other multilib.out targets just depend on multilib.out:

$target/[module]/multlib.out : multilib.out
	cp multilib.out $target/[module]/multilib.out
