I don't think its possible to approach the problem as you are trying to do. Even if you could, you shouldn't create cross-profile dependencies like you are trying to do. Instead, it is the job of the role to provide everything needed to integrate all the profiles. You could do it via the role class instead of in Hiera, however. That makes sense to me, because the role classes are where the information of which profiles are involved is stored. Perhaps you could add a parameter to profiles::collectd by which the role can provide the needed data, which it would assemble from class variables of the profile classes.
