Sure, just make the picks conditional. I'm sure I've seen trades before where there was the option on the pick.
Edit: example
November 3, 1999
New Jersey Devils acquire
Claude Lemieux
conditional draft pick (2000 #57-Matt DeMarchi)
Devils option to swap 2000 1st round picks (#22-David Hale)
Colorado Avalanche acquire
Brian Rolston
2001 conditional pick
Devils option to swap 2000 1st round picks (#27-Martin Samuelsson)
