Yes. See :help syn-include and :help mysyntaxfile-add.

I do not recommend using comments with `vim:` because they are
interpreted specially by Vim. Just use (for instance):

   if {checkNotIgnore("DIFF")} {
     File_Exec_BASH {
       # syntax=bash
       [...]
       # pop syntax
     } <@stdin >@stdout 2>@stderr
   }

Create ~/.vim/after/syntax/tcl.vim with this content:

    unlet b:current_syntax
    syn include @Bash syntax/bash.vim
    syn region tclBash matchgroup=Comment start=/^\s*# syntax=bash/ end=/^\s*# pop syntax/  contains=@Bash
    let b:current_syntax = "tcl"

Hope this helps,
Life.
