No, you can't #declare a blob component. I don't know what you want to
do but maybe following helps: you can make a #macro that inserts blob
componets into a blob{}.

----
#macro make_blob()

sphere{my_pos,my_radius,1 [translate ....]}
cylinder{my_pos,my_radius,0.5 [translate ....]}

#end

blob{

#declare my_pos=3;
#declare my_radius=0.5;
make_blob()

#declare my_pos=<2,1,2>;
#declare my_radius=.2;
make_blob()

}
