How about the approach described below?

common.xml:
<property name="clean.target" value="clean.commontasks" />
<target name="clean">
<antcall target="${clean.target}" />
</target>
<!-- The common clean target: -->
<target name="clean.commontasks">
<echo message="Now executing commontasks clean..." />
</target>
The project build.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [<!ENTITY common SYSTEM "file:./common.xml">]>
<project name="myproject" default="test" basedir=".">
<!-- Comment this out and clean.commontasks will be called: -->
<property name="clean.target" value="clean.myproject" />
&common;
<target name="test" depends="clean" />
<!-- The overriding clean target: -->
<target name="clean.myproject">
<antcall target="clean.commontasks" />
<echo message="Now executing project clean..." />
</target>
</project>
