I do this, without using automake, by using Makefile.in constructs
such as:

   all: regular-stuff @conditional-stuff@
        :

   regular-stuff:
        :

   conditional-stuff:
        :

then use an autoconf substitution for address@hidden@', such
that it is blank, when `conditional-stuff' is not required, and
names the `conditional-stuff' target when it is.  Obviously, this
can be extended to multiple conditionals, ad-infinitum.

HTH.
