Nope. Not without SATISFY or putting it in an IF clause.

In this case, Remind would have to be clairvoyant, because the function
is only defined after the REM statement. :P
For your specific case
FSET myfunc(x) iif(x == $TY, "result1", "result2")
REM 10 October UNTIL 2020-10-10 MSG [myfunc(2020)]
And yes, 2020 is duplicated, but c'est la vie. Having something that
can "cancel" a REM statement would make reminder files extremely
difficult to debug, IMO.
You can get away without passing 2020 into myfunc, and instead have
it look at year(triguntil()) but that would mean the function would
only work if there is an UNTIL clause.
