No, you can't nest lists, as in

  pass ... from { { 10.1.2.3, 10.2.3.4 }, { 10.3.4.5 } }

i.e. {} within {}.

I think a recent commit to -current makes that valid, but it's not in
any release yet, and I doubt there are any examples of it online yet.

If what you meant was building a macro defining a {} list based on other
macros (i.e. nesting macros, not nesting {} lists), see the thread

The syntax is hairy, and duplicating some literals might be the lesser
of two evils.
