Ant 1.8.0[1] and its new PropertyHelper API will help you here with the
plain if/unless attributes.
unless will pass if the property is either not set at all (current Ant
behavior) or is set and PropertyHelper expands it to Boolean.FALSE.
if will pass if the property is set to anything but Boolean.FALSE.
This only works if you are using a PropertyEvaluator that returns
Boolean instances - and there currently is none, but it would be trivial
to write one.
Check out Ant's trunk if you want to experiment with it.

[1] there still are a few details of changes in trunk that need to be
hashed out before we can plan that release.
