So I think you want a test along the lines of :

   If (some condition based on switch & vlan)
     then set some-flag

Then later

   subnet a.b.c.0 ... {
     ...
     if (some-flag is set)
       then allow this client to have an address
   }

That is fairly easy to do :

class "vlan1-clients" { match if <insert conditions here> } ;

subnet a.b.c.0 ... {
   ...
   pool {
     range a.b.c.100 a.b.c.199 ;
     allow members of "vlan1-clients" ;
   }
}

Is this what you want, or have I misunderstood ?
