You can create as many configurations as you want.  They're free :-)
In the feature-based configuration, you would list your feature (that 
houses your plugins) along with all the features you depend on on the 
Configuration page.

The configuration is a file that can go in any folder, in any project.  It 
is a development time artifact that brings all the pieces together.  It is 
for PDE use only.  It is not read by the runtime or Update manager and 
should not be part of the end product of course.
