In the end I stuck in code to increment/decrement a counter, and
looked for it to be explicitly 0 or 1.
Do you need to put a memory barrier around that, or does the critical
section take care of that?

To my knowlede this does not exist.
The Microsoft implementation of a critical section has
TryEnterCriticalSection, but I do not know how portable or useful
that is.
I think that one's generally available, but it looks as though it does
the same as TCriticalSection.TryEnter.
