"depends" doesn't expand properties.  I bet if you had a target such as the 
following it would work...

<target name="${checkoutModule}"/>


However, that misses the point.  What you want is this...

<target name="co-all">
    <callToCustomCheckoutMacrodef module="${checkoutModule}"/>
</target>

You could also use Ant-contrib's <for> task which wraps macrodef to provide 
iteration without incurring <antcall>'s performance hit.
