My proposal would be (beware, hacky Autoconfery ahead)...

AC_DEFUN([AM_CONDITIONAL],
[ifelse([$1], [TRUE],
        [errprint(__file__:__line__: [$0: invalid condition: $1
])dnl
m4exit(1)])dnl
ifelse([$1], [FALSE],
       [errprint(__file__:__line__: [$0: invalid condition: $1
])dnl
m4exit(1)])dnl


AC_DEFINE([AM_CONDITIONAL_$1],
[AC_SUBST([$1_TRUE])
AC_SUBST([$1_FALSE])
if $2; then
  $1_TRUE=
  $1_FALSE='#'
else
  $1_TRUE='#'
  $1_FALSE=
fi
])
AC_REQUIRE([AM_CONDITIONAL_$1])
])


untested.
