Maybe you can have something like:

foo:
        @if test; then \
          $(MAKE) foo-true; \
        else \
          $(MAKE) foo-false; \
        fi

I'm pretty sure this is portable - but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Not sure how much of this will get past automake though; that may depend on
which targets you want to conditionalize.
