It's not that Open edX support conda requirements files. When you write your XBlock, you will have a setup.py, and you can put whatever Python packages you want in the install_requires value there. But that is only for Python packages. There isn't a mechanism that will automatically install ffmpeg for you when you install your XBlock. You'll need to put instructions in the README file, and installers will have to install it somehow.
