Yes, use the constant 0. Or how about "else"?
if ([theEvent modifierFlags] & NSCommandKeyMask)

else // use this ...

if (([theEvent modifierFlags] & NSCommandKeyMask) == 0) // ... or this

I'll also point out that you don't want "'no' modifier keys", you want no
*Command* modifier key. Or do you really mean "'no' modifier keys"?

Well, of course. You're choosing to use a *modifier* key, which gets pressed
first (and sometimes first by quite a long time), and that modifier is already
used for other things too. That means it's not highly desirable to use the
Command key for modes that are slow to switch or are extremely visible to the
user.
If must use Command, you could certainly try delaying the switch in state, but
that of course makes it seem less responsive.
