One possibility:
% Conditional pagebreak
\def\condbreak#1{%
\vskip 0pt plus #1\pagebreak[3]\vskip 0pt plus -#1\relax}
\newcommand*\condbr[1]{\condbreak{#1\baselineskip}}
-
Then you can use either
\condbr{3}
which will insert a page break if less then 3 lines of text follow
or
\condbreak{}
e.g.
\condbreak{.25\textheight}
