Not as such, no. Puppet does not recognize manifest files as a remotely-addressable unit of organization. Also, any catalog the master provides to an agent will contain only resources that have been declared for that agent, as directed by the appropriate entry-point manifest (normally site.pp). You can alter the declarations that will be made for a given node by requesting a different (pre-defined) environment, and you can select a subset of the resources declared for the client node via the --tag option, but you cannot ask for arbitrary manifest files. This is the point where I normally say "puppet is not a script engine" and urge you to not try to use it as if it were.
