In vanilla compatable modes, it would be possible but there is only a
select few maps that are capable of detecting that the current set of
monsters gets destroyed (and those are hard-coded into the engine.)

It's possible in ZDoom, without too much scripting.  At worst, you just
have to write a simple condition that counts the number of monsters (total
or of one type) before launching a spawn script.
