In principle yes - by using "include" in the xkb_keymap description.
See "setxkbmap -print" for a starting point.

Actually I have a keymap editor in the works (at home) which would
let you do this through a UI. Shouldn't take more
than a couple of
evenings to make an alpha release. Likely not going to be the next
couple of evenings in the calendar though.
