This is the problem that OSGI tries to address and that the long-delayed "module" system hopefully coming in JDK8 should handle (Project Jigsaw).
I think currently OSGI might be your best bet if you truly need it, though there is quite a bit of work to get spun up on that. You may get lucky and be able to use :exclusions in your project.clj to make sure only the newest version of any dependency is used (assuming the new version doesn't break backwards compatibility). If you're brave, you could download an early-release of JDK8 and see how Project Jigsaw works for you. It is possible to spin your own solution using Classloaders, but probably a lot of work.
