If its just one or two files I'd do the variable in the PLIST that
conditionally evaluates to "" or a comment approach.

.if !empty(PKG_OPTIONS:Mfoo)
PLIST_SUBST+=           HAVE_FOO=""
.else
PLIST_SUBST+=           HAVE_FOO="@comment "
.endif

with the relevant entry in the PLIST being:

${HAVE_FOO}/path/name
