Untested, but I would try:

    dependencies { 
        classpath 'com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk:1.10.58' 
    } 
}

import com.amazonaws.auth.DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain

repositories {
    maven {
        url "s3://someS3Bucket/maven2"
        credentials(AwsCredentials) {

            def defaultCredentials = new DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain().getCredentials()
            accessKey defaultCredentials.getAWSAccessKeyId()
            secretKey defaultCredentials.getAWSSecretKey()
        }
    }
}
