Probably, but I'd like to have a reply to my comments below first.

Can m32r accept PCMCIA cards? If so, this may mean that 8250.c gets
built, which will use this file to determine where it should look for
built-in 8250 ports.

If this file is used to describe non-8250 compatible ports, you could
end up with a nasty mess. Therefore, I recommend that you do not use
asm-m32r/serial.h to describe your SIO ports.

Instead, since these definitions are private to your own driver, you
may consider moving them into the driver, or a header file closely
associated with your driver in drivers/serial.
