It is.

You more or less just need to figure out which layer the recipe comes 
from. Then you can build functions on top of that.

https://github.com/MontaVista-OpenSourceTechnology/meta-montavista-cgx/blob/master/conf/layerinfo.inc

We modify the mirror we point to based on what layer the recipe resides 
in...The specific function that would interest you is
get_layername

Which we set LAYER_NAME to, then we use functions to do things with 
LAYER_NAME.
