I still don't think that would be really helpful.

  dev-libs/libfoo[ssl][${MULTILIB_USEDEP}]

is IMO just more confusing than the usual [ssl,...] -- people start
thinking 'does it mean something special?'

Unless you mean adding the brackets to the variable itself -- but that
will be just scary...

  dev-libs/libfoo${MULTILIB_USEDEP}
