I never try it... But since web2py like linux and unix everything is in a file somewhere, you maybe could try to make use of symbolic links... So you could have a app (plugin app) that is linked as a plugin in others app (main app that rely on some plugins).
Really not sure how well it could work. If you try something, I would be interested if you report the problems you face and how you walk around.
