No, but you can mark the variable itself obsolete.
IOW, you would mark the old variable as obsolete, add some way to handle
it for backwards-compatibility, then introduce the two new variables.
So if the new variables are named `bibtex-biblatex-entry-user-alist' and
`bibtex-biblatex-entry-default-alist':
(make-obsolete-variable 'bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist
bibtex-biblatex-entry-user-alist "29.1")
