The ifthen package does this. Include in your file the line

\usepackage{ifthen}

Then set your variable to true or false by

\newcommand{\condition}{true} or \newcommand{\condition}{false}.

Then you can use the following statement:

\ifthenelse{\equal{\condition}{true}}{
    blah-blah %this is printed iff \condition is set to true
}
{
    another blah-blah %this is printed otherwise
}
