Not really: if VFPv3 is enabled, so is VFPv2, see the conditions:
	https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/arch/Config.in.arm#n21

and see the reasons below...

Unless I'm mistaken, that's already the case, and has been so at least
since 2013:

    5f959a1c arch: improve ARM floating point support and add support for EABIhf

   21 config BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_VFPV3
   22 	bool
   23 	select BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_VFPV2
   [--SNIP--]
   30 config BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_VFPV4
   31 	bool
   32 	 select BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_VFPV3

Yann E. MORIN.
