Unfortunately, no.

You might get some useful ideas from https://github.com/boyski/RMCH1
(look for the zip link if not familiar with git). Also,
coincidentally, I just filed an enhancement request
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?35485) which describes how to
determine the directory of the "current makefile". If you can assume
that these will all be contained underneath a base directory and that
unix path style will be followed, it becomes easy to relativise paths
with subst or patsubst.
You might also want to make use of GMSL (http://gmsl.sourceforge.net/)
which provides a lot of useful macros.
