In a lazy lisp if and cond can be plain functions. But to define plain functions, or in any case somewhere, I need a special form. Is it that what you mean?
Not quite, though it's true as well. What I meant is that you can't define if/cond as a function in a language that doesn't already have a choice function. Condition testing is a primitive operation that is ultimately realized in hardware. So primitives always exist, independently of laziness.
