Not really.

Your only other choice is the favourite: auto-re-exec with an included
makefile:
include man-install.mk
man-install.mk: Makefile
@rm -f $@
@for m in 1 2 3 5 8; do \
echo '$$(MANDIR)/man'"$$m/%.$$m: %.$$m ; "'$$(INSTALL) -v -m664 $$< $$@'
>> $@ \
done
Untested, but you get the idea. Probably messier than just writing out
the individual rules, but... :)
