We already do that quite a lot.

I assume you have some specific dependencies in mind,
because otherwise the answer is only "yes, we have both kinds of
dependencies already, see the output of cmake in a kde module".
I suggest that you tell us more about which required dependencies
you would like to see turned into optional ones.
