You'd need a new ACL modifier or expansion item. Ignoring the dollar sign,
that can only mean setting acl_c_my_variable to "my_acl apple banana carrot".

Are you talking generally or are you trying to solve a specific problem?
Unless recursion is needed, the same thing can be accomplished, albeit using
a couple more lines, by setting some ACL variables and then calling the
sub-ACL, which returns its result also by setting a variable. If that's not
good enough, ${perl} may be.
