The if command supports a COMMAND clause for that purpose:

if(COMMAND foo)
    foo()
endif()

Use MACROS property for a given directory.

get_directory_property(DEFINED_MACROS DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} MACROS)
list(FIND DEFINED_MACROS "foo" MACRO_INDEX)
if(MACRO_INDEX EQUAL -1)
    # macro foo does not exist
else(MACRO_INDEX EQUAL -1)
    # macro foo exists
endif(MACRO_INDEX EQUAL -1)
