Perhaps a few seds would suffice. For example something like
build(libs) could be easily converted with this:

sed -r 
's/^[[:space:]]*build\(([a-z0-9+-]+)\)([[:space:]]*\{[[:space:]]*){0,1}$/build_\1
\2/'

I don't see any need to extend the current PKGBUILD syntax but things
like build(libs) or depends(libs)= could be IMHO acceptable.
