Would it be possible to do something like:

start => "/foo",

owner => "foo",

mode => 755, }
between => {
start => "/foo/voo/bar/baz",
end => "/foo/voo/bar/baz",
owner => "baz",
group => "baz",

}
or would that require re-writing chuncks of puppet?
There was a patch to support hashes:
http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/commit/75c32f910ea124a938a7035b3352c11a11b57d0c
So you could in theory write your own provider. Up until that patch
the Puppet DSL would not have supported the format you suggest.
From another perspective. What's wrong with doing it this way:
file { ["/foo","/foo/voo","/foo/voo/bar" ]:
ensure => directory,
owner => "foo",
group => "foo",
mode => "0755"
}
file { "/foo/voo/bar/baz":
ensure => directory,
owner => "baz",
group => "baz",
mode => "0755"
}
Only the list seems a little wordy initially, but it won't take you
much longer to type then your suggestion.
And if your actual directory varies, it's pretty trivial to write a
function that expands a given file name into an array and does the
equivalent of this for any arbitrary directory.
