Should be possible:

you specify two checks for the package:

<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="PDFCreator 0.8.0" />
<check type="uninstall" condition="missing" path="Adobe Acrobat 7.0" />

*** NB i have not actually tested this ***
Different tests are logically ANDed together.
Look at the wpkg.js source for behaviour of "missing" checks.
