Yes it can be done, but I don't think it is particularly useful:
*---------------- begin example ---------------
sysuse auto, clear
levelsof price
foreach lev in `r(levels)' {
local lab = cond(inrange(`lev', 3000, 4000), "3000-4000", ///
cond(inrange(`lev', 4000, 5000), "4000-5000", ///
">5000"))
label define price `lev' "`lab'", add
}
label value price price
tab price
*------------------ end example ----------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see

Hope this helps,
Maarten
