Yes,
normally I keep a lib/ant/-plugin-name-/(jars needed for the plugin)
directory structure and have a ant-contrib.xml importable file to
configure the plugin:

<project name="ant-contrib"
     xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">

<typedef uri="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib"
      resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
  <classpath>
   <fileset dir="lib/ant/ant-contrib" includes="*.jar"/>
  </classpath>
</typedef>

<presetdef name="bash" uri="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
  <ac:shellscript shell="bash"/>
</presetdef>


</project>

(note that for ant 1.7.0 you do not need to specify resource when the
uri is an antlib:)
