No. And while such a thing can probably be added, I'm not so sure it 
would be a good idea: Most of the time a product's dependencies are not 
identical with what its dependents need, and offering a simple way to 
make the two things the same would probably lead to a lot of people 
exporting too much in order to save keystrokes.
Something like this would not have that drawback:
Depends {
     name: "xyz"
     export: true
}
Although it seems a bit questionable that now export information is 
outside the Export block.
