Alternative Build-dependencies should help you in this case.
You can read about them here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html

In short: You can specify both OS2007 and OS2008 packages as a
build-dependencies. Something like this: 
Build-Depends: hildon-fm-dev | libhildonfm2-dev, libosso-gnomevfs2-dev | libgnomevfs2-dev 

But, considering the fact that hildon API was broken between OS2007(bora) and OS2008(chinook)[1] I'm quite 
sure that this change isn't enough to compile package for both platforms.
