Only in sub-packages, when that "external" directory can be regarded as "internal" for an enclosing package.
In other words: generally you can't.
`make dist' creates tarball that extracts to a single directory (named PACKAGE-VERSION). EXTRA_DISTing external directory would require multi-directory tarballs.

You could move --or link-- these directories into your source tree.
