Why not directly:

    (:if VARIABLE:) .... (:if:)

and let php decide what is true or false?

So, you only have to define a new condition as php code into your config.php 
or in a new cookbook recipe to catch the variable name and evaluate it:

    $Conditions['var'] = 'true==$GLOBALS[\'$condparm\']';

You may test it with:

(:if var VARNAME:) ... (:if:)


NB: This code is *untested*
