This works for me:
<project xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
<macrodef name="values2list">
<attribute name="property"/>
<attribute name="prefix"/>
<attribute name="size"/>
<attribute name="separator" default=","/>
<sequential>
<ac:var name="@{property}" value="$...@{prefix}1}"/>
<ac:for param="nr" begin="2" end="@{size}">
<sequential>
<ac:var name="@{property}"
value="$...@{property}}@{separator...@{prefix}@{nr}}"/>
</sequential>
</ac:for>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<property name="name.1" value="foo"/>
<property name="name.2" value="foo"/>
<property name="name.3" value="abc"/>
<property name="name.4" value="xyz"/>
<values2list property="list" prefix="name." size="4"/>
<echo>List: ${list}</echo>
</project>
