No, "osc build" takes --with/--without and passes it along to
rpmbuild.

That's also not right, conditions can be used within OBS by
specifying them in the project configuration and they are
actually important for building packages differently depending on
the project using links. One prominent example is Packman
where OBS packages are linked and additional support for
restricted codecs is added through conditional parts in the
specfile that are normally disabled on OBS.
