No, you can't use if-statements like that. To accomplish what you want,
try this instead:
<target name="isAvailable">
<available file="config.xml"
property="config.xml.available"/>
</target>
<target name="copy" depends="isAvailable"
unless="config.xml.available">
<copy file="config_template.xml" tofile="config.xml"/>
</target>
<target name="deploy" depends="copy">
<!-- Do your deploy stuff here -->
</target>
Sorry, but that's how conditional logic is handled in Ant.
