Yes, either Ivy or Maven Ant Tasks [2] can be used for this.

I'm not sure though that these can be used without actually installing 
the corresponding Antlib locally. We don't want people to have to 
install stuff to their Ant installation to be able to build JMeter.

The quick, but perhaps not so elegant, solution is to have a bunch of 
<get> calls that fetches the jars from the central repo.
