Not really. Dynamic Updates are *specific* to the particular zone
they're made to, so there's no feasible way to "share" a zone that's
dynamically-updateable.
The "zone-file sharing" feature was, to my knowledge, never really
designed that way; it was just a convenience made possible by the syntax
and semantics of loading zone data from text files. Once you go to
another paradigm for maintaining the data -- Dynamic Update -- such
"tricks" are no longer possible.
Whatever tool you're using that performs those Dynamic Updates would
need to be modified to make the same update to each of the zones.
