That sounds like it would be OK, although something like this would
probably be better:

 config VIDEO_PVRUSB2
       tristate "Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 support"
-       depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && I2C
+       depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && I2C && (DVB_CORE if VIDEO_PVRUSB2_DVB)
       select FW_LOADER
       select MEDIA_TUNER
       select VIDEO_TVEEPROM

I don't know if that syntax works for "depends on" , but it does work
for select.

if "depends on FOO if BAR" doesnt work, would adding "select DVB_CORE
if VIDEO_PVRUSB2_DVB" solve the problem?
