Yes make can deal with it.  For example this works fine (on gnu make):
###
RACC=racc
RACCFLAGS=

.SUFFIXES : .y.rb .rb

.y.rb.rb :
         $(RACC) $(RACCFLAGS) $< -o $*.rb
###
I could see how that could confuse make though.  I guess having two 
extensions is a pretty bad idea in general though.  The 'y.rb' 
extension lets the text editor know that its a ruby file not a yacc 
file though.  I guess 'yrb' could be used instead.
