You definitely can. You can define your own targets, as we have done with some of the Makefiles in Pd ala "make app":
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/mac/Makefile.am#L19 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/mac/Makefile.am#L19>

You can't really override the default targets but you can extend them with *-local and/or *-hook : https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Extending.html <https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Extending.html>
