Not in vtiger 7.1.1:

  function setRelatedList($moduleInstance, $label = '', $actions = 
false, $function_name = 'get_related_list', $fieldId = null) {

get_related_list is suitable for the n:n relationship using the 
vtiger_crmentityrel table.

If you wanted to use get_dependents_list then SELECT will not work as 
this implies you would be replacing the value in the source field of the 
record being selected; and vtiger has no way of dealing with that at the 
moment anyway.

Still not sure what benefit there would be of using an associative array 
as you originally suggested. With the changes since v6 vtiger supports 
having multiple related lists of the same module (maybe with different 
functions or from a different source field) - using your mechanism would 
not work at all in that scenario.
