Yes, you can for example use something like 

<project> 
  <path id="classpath">
    <fileset dir="C:\mylibs">
      <include name="**/*.jar"/>
    </fileset>
  </path>

  <target name="compile">
    <javac srcdir="mySrc" destdir="myClasses">
      <classpath refid="classpath"/>
    </javac>
  </target>
</project>

The above (escpecially the javac-task) may contain errors.
