Default Conditional inserts in label merge

I'm doing a label merge (asked a recent question here about it). Now
I'm wondering if it is possible to apply conditions to the merge
process.

For example, if I have a field for last and first names, then I'd like
to merge the first name field into the label, but if the first name is
blank, then I'd like to substitute it with the last name.

In this example, if I have the first name field, then the line might
read.

The game was won by Mike.

If I don't have the first name field and I substitute the last name
field, the line of text should read

The game was won by Black.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
