Yes, you create a file called <item name>.qbs and put it in a directory 
called "imports". The parent directory of this one needs to be in 
project.qbsSearchPaths. Then you can import and use the item. For instance:

<project dir>/qbs/imports/MyItem.qbs:
import qbs
Product {
     type: "mytype"
}

<project dir>/project.qbs:
import qbs
Project {
     qbsSearchPaths: "[qbs]"
     references: "product.qbs" // Product needs to be in different file, 
because imports are resolved before evaluating properties.
}

<project dir>/product.qbs:
import qbs
import MyItem
MyItem {
}
