At least for today's eGPU enclosures; yes.

If such a hardware design was created you should actually have two USCI 
power supplies.

The PD controller or TCPC for the portable computer should provide one 
to represent the connection to the eGPU and the dGPU should provide one
to represent the connection to the dGPU.

The one from the portable computer will be marked 'system' and the dGPU 
would be 'device.'
