Try this:
<project name="test" default="invokeme" basedir=".">
<target name="checkprop">
<condition property="propset">
<isset property="myproperty" />
</condition>
</target>
<target name="invokeme"
depends="checkprop"
if="propset">
<echo message="Here we go!" />
</target>
</project>
Is this what you want to do?
