How? Something like

  | <dependency>
  |    <groupId>org.jboss</groupId>
  |    <artifactId>jbossas</artifactId>
  |    <version format="OSGi">5.0.0.Beta4</version>
  | </dependency>
  | 

With some config that tells maven how to parse versions into its format?

  | <version-format name="OSGi">org.jboss.maven.OSGiVersionParser</version-format>
  | 

I'd guess it probably isn't as simple as that (but I haven't looked at the code. ;-)
