Sure there is, but.... please don't actually try to do that in Fedora
packages.  There are cases where such things might be easier to read,
but in general I don't think that would be the case.

A better approach if you care about readability is to stop trying to use
one spec across everything.  You don't need any
%if clauses at all if you do that.

Or you could locate the situations which cause large numbers of packages
to require %if clauses in order to keep spec compatibility across
multiple releases.  Make lists and bring them forward for discussion.
It might be possible to do something about it.
