I thought to use construction like that:

ALLOW_DEPRECATED = true
DEPRECATED_VARS = CLEAN CLEANDIR CRYPT PROFILE SECURE GAMES INFO LIBC_R

.for var in ${DEPRECATED_VARS}
.if defined(NO${var})
.if defined(ALLOW_DEPRECATED) && !empty(ALLOW_DEPRECATED)
NO_${var}=${NO${var}}
.else
	@echo "The variable NO${var} is deprecated, use NO_${var} instead"
	@/usr/bin/false
.endif
.endif
.endfor
