It isn’t possible to do this in XAML. What you’d usually want to use for the sort of problem I’m guessing you have is a IMultiValueConverter.
If you really had to you could wire it up like you suggest in the code behind for your view but I really wouldn’t recommend it. First it is much more difficult to manage and second your property won’t be updated when the value you’ve bound to the new dependency property changes (i.e. the Convert method won’t be called again). You’re much better off using an IMultiValueConverter.
