No you cannot, makepkg is far stricter than pacman/libalpm/vercmp about most things, and in this case, as with many other packaging details, makepkg explicitly forbids this. Allan has stated his absolute refusal to permit it: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2018-June/022578.html "I am still very much against going beyond x.y for pkgrel. In fact, I only begrudgingly accept the need for .y in there." -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
