Yes!  If you want to do this in lots of directories, you can define a 
function.

    # Use $(dir ...) to get a proper name for the directory
    TMP = $(dir tmp)

    buildsrc(srcfiles) =
       foreach(x, $(srcfiles))
          $(TMP)/$(basename $(rootname $x)).tex: $x $(TMP)
             $(SRC2TEX) $< > $@
