   No.  You have to decide on one of the packages as a default in case 
neither of foo or bar has already been installed.  E.g. if you chose 
foo, you'd declare the dependency like

   DEPENDS=	{foo,bar}-[0-9]*:../foo

   (Please note also the [0-9] part that prevents this dependency from 
accidentally matching packages like "foo-blah-1.0")

   Cheers
