Does your project also have a problem on Solaris 10 because its /bin/sh also doesn't grok "if !"?

If so, how/why does that happen? ./configure is supposed to re-exec with a working shell, and this works for me when I run GNU Emacs's ./configure (which has a lot of "if !"s in it) on Solaris 10.

If not, and if this is a problem only with the way you're using heirloom-sh to check portability, I wouldn't worry about it.
