No.  For these reasons:

1) A release tag is significant *only* when it appears as a child of a 
package tag, or as a grandchild of a package, with a component tag as 
its immediate parent.  While you may specify children within a licence 
tag, (remember, there is no formal DTD or schema to prohibit it), none 
will be accorded any meaning.

2) You cannot use wildcards within the tarname attribute of a release 
tag, (as a child of a package or a component), since this is where a 
*specific* version is *defined*.

3) The licence tag itself requires a tarname attribute.  No *matching* 
is performed on this; only field-for-field substitution for '%' tokens, 
from the referrer tarname.

What you *can* do is specify a generalised substitution licence spec for 
the package, then override it for individual releases, by adding a more 
explicit licence spec as a child of the release tag itself:

<package name="mingw32-mingwrt">

   <!-- package global licence specification: -->
   <!-- applies to all releases which don't stipulate otherwise -->
   <licence tarname="mingwrt-%-mingw32-%-dev.tar.% />

   <component class="dev">
     <release tarname="mingwrt-4.0-1-mingw32-rc-1-dev.tar.lzma">
       <!-- override global licence reference -->
       <licence tarname="wsl-4.0-1-mingw32-rc-1-lic.tar.lzma />
     </release>

     <!-- other releases use the package global licence -->
     <release tarname="mingwrt-3.20-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma />
     ...
   </component>
</package>
