Not exactly, but you can have multiple symbols all instantiated with the same refdes= to build up your part. You can have one symbol for the OR gate parts, another for the power. See for example 74power-1.sym in the library. That is a slightly bad example though, as all the 74* symbols in the library also have hidden "net=" attributes which wire up their power pins. The idea is solid though.
