It's part of the ant-contrib project on Sourceforge. You can pick up a
nightly jar at:
  http://gump.covalent.net/jars/latest/ant-contrib/

To use the tasks, do one of: include the jar-file in your CLASSPATH; put
it in ANT_HOME/lib; or add a nested <classpath> element to the <taskdef>
to point to where the jar-file lives. Then include the following in your
build file (optionally, with the nested <classpath>):

  <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>

This will define all the tasks included in the jar: <if>, <foreach>,
<trycatch>, <switch>, <propertycopy>, <osfamily>.

Since it's a nightly not a release jar, I don't think it includes any
documentation, so you may want to pick up the source and run the target
that builds them (looks to be Javadoc docs):
  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ant-contrib/ant-contrib/

But, basically, the <if> task is:
  <if>
    some condition...
    <then>
      some task(s)
    </then>
[optional]
    <else>
      some other task(s)
    </else>
  </if>
