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.
