is it possible to add a pre-packaged nbm to a suite? Or with other words how to add a dependency to a module which is no netbeans core module?
 - Either make a copy of NetBeans, or if there's a lot of stuff you don't want, create an empty suite.  Then build it and create a zip distribution and unpack that.
I should have said here, create an empty suite, and then turn off everything you know you're not going to use before you do the zip trick.

I do some similar tricks for the automated builds of the embryonic extended platform, to automatically make platform builds with a bunch of additional stuff in them.  If you own the source for the other module, it's just from a different suite, you can just copy the suite's build products into the right place under the platform instance, and you've de-facto added a cluster with some additional modules;  then just make sure the paths are appended to the cluster list in $PLATFORM_HOME/etc.

Like I said, it ain't pretty.
