Puppet users - Aug 2012 - conditional require

On a vanilla resource require statement, is there a way to define a require for
either ''resource A'' or ''resource B'' ?

Historically our system setup increment app per version (as opposed to having a
parameter to define it). Ie. Say, we have a tomcat_6 and tomcat_7 classes for
tomcat v.6 and v.7 respectively. So obviously if some other resources is
depending on Tomcat, a particular node would have either 6 or 7.

Note that we have not yet utilize fact for version documentation. Thanks in
advance.

Not directly, no.  What you can do is create, apply, and set your 
requirement for a class of this general form:

class tomcat {
  if $i_want_tomcat_6 {
    include ''tomcat_6''
  } else {
    include ''tomcat_7''
  }
}
