You should declare their version as 1.0-SNAPSHOT or something like that. Then you just need to setup an enterprise snapshot repository wich always give you the lastest snapshot of your artefacts.
When the components actually go throught a new release, I suggest you to update the dependencies version manually when new versions come out so you can test if everything still work ok.
