No, you can't. This is because in order to be able to apply a parse
treansform, the original code must be syntactically valid Erlang code, and
the cond construct isn't. 

Also, cond is now a reserved keyword, and a cond construct is coming soon in
a release near you.

You could write something like
	test() ->
		control:'cond'(		
            	fun(predicate1()) -> do1();
              	   (predicate2()) -> do2();
            	   (predicate3()) -> do3()
			end
		).
and use a parse transform for this one.

Best regards,
Vlad
