Sure there is, I use it all the time:

	<jar jarfile="yourjar.jar">
		<fileset dir="${compile.to}">
			....
		</fileset>
		<manifest>
			<section name="YourSectionName">
				<attribute name="Hello" value="SomeValue"/>
				<attribute name="Goodbye" value="AnotherValue"/>
			</section>
		</manifest>
	</jar>

In ant version 1.4.1 it does not appear in the documentation, but it works.

I was going to make my first patch for the documentation of this, but I just
checked the manual in cvs and it is already included there. Oh well!

Just wanted to say THANKS to the ant list for a just amazing tool.  Thus 
far, everything I have wanted it to do, I was able to coerce it into 
doing.  This, for example, is a really neat way of solving the manifest 
problem, and it is pretty darn neat to boot.
