No, no, yes.

Try this out:

 .PHONY : test t_a t_b

  test : t_a t_b
      @echo Making $@

  t_a :
      @echo Making $@

  t_b :
      @echo Making $@

The only gotcha I can see here is that the lines that start with tab 
have to start with tab.  i.e. you can't do space tab @command, and vice 
cersa.  Basically, you need to respect tab's meaning.

Apart from that you can indent with spaces if you feel like it.
