Then may be:
if(feature_found)
  add_test(NormalTestName ..)
else(feature_found)
  add_test(NormalTestName-Skipped SkippedTest NormalTestName)
endif(feature_found)

SkippedTest would be a script, eexcutable etc... which shall always succeed.
that way you can easily spot your "skipped" test with ctest or CDash.

Of course this does not work for skipped test "at test time".
