I don't think so.  We have special indentation possibilities for
environments.

I'd welcome a patch that generalizes the idea a bit.  For example, the
ifplatform package provides macros like

  \ifwindows
    \this
  \else
    \that
  \fi

and there are dozens of other \if-variants out there.  So it would be
good if an AUCTeX style file could specify that it provides a new
if-then-else-fi macro, and then indentation should just work.

(address@hidden might still be a special case, though.)
