Yes - write your code to use Bytes (http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Bytes.html) and then add a requirement for findlib >= 1.5 which includes the "bytes" package (this is a dummy package for OCaml >= 4.02 and a compatibility layer for OCaml < 4.02).
Alternatively, if for some very strange reason you're not happy to depend on findlib, you can borrow its compatibility layer directly (src/bytes/bytes.ml) and integrate that into your build system.
