Here's one tiny improvement:
As=a1 a2 a3
Bs=b4 b5 b6
ABs=$(foreach a,$(As),$(foreach b,$(Bs),$(a)_$(b)))
A=$(filter-out $@,$(foreach b,$(Bs),$(subst _$(b),,$@)))
B=$(filter-out $@,$(foreach a,$(As),$(subst $(a)_,,$@)))
A_SE=$$(filter-out $$@,$$(foreach b,$$(Bs),$$(subst _$$(b),,$$@)))
B_SE=$$(filter-out $$@,$$(foreach a,$$(As),$$(subst $$(a)_,,$$@)))
all: $(ABs)
$(As) $(Bs):
.SECONDEXPANSION:
$(ABs): $(A_SE) $(B_SE)
@echo $@: $^
@echo A=$A, B=$B
