...sure, by specifying the whole url and calling an external program where the actual shit downloading happens. The same as bash, C and so on. Of course, it is in very bad taste to do so, and by no means a standard or even common thing to do when using makefiles.
Maybe it would be OK if cargo let you download code, after giving it a sort of "unsafe" flag or something. But the current behavior is just bonkers.
