Not the best solution but you may try to use conflict managers provided by Ivy (see apache docs). For example, 'latest-revision' is used by default and 'latest-compatible' manager should disallow any dependency conflicts.

It doesn't look easy to set up though, someone on google sbt group posted the following rule:

def addConflictManager(org: String, name: String, conflictManager: String) =
  ivyModule <<= (ivyModule, streams) map { (module, s) =>
    module.withModule(s.log) { (ivy, desc, _) =>
        import _root_.org.apache.ivy.{core, plugins}
        import core.module.id.ModuleId
        import plugins.matcher.PatternMatcher

        desc.addConflictManager(
          ModuleId.newInstance(org, name),
          ivy.getSettings.getMatcher(PatternMatcher.EXACT),
          ivy.getSettings.getConflictManager("latest-compatible"))
        module
    }
  }
