Not natively. But you could write a plugin to do it or use the
Properties Plugin from the Codehaus sandbox:
https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/sandbox/properties-maven-plugin/

"The Properties Maven Plugin is here to make life a little easier when
dealing with properties. It provides goals to read and write
properties from files."

You just need to set up a file with the token ${version} in it and
tell Maven to filter it during resource processing. Alternatively, it
seems that the Properties plugin would also handle this.
