This might exactly what you're looking for: Check the <condition> task. It has the ability to examine the Ant version, so you can verify that you're running the correct Ant version.
If not, take a look at the AntContrib task <propertyregex>. <http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html> That will let you filter out the version ID from the property string.
