For {{if (eq a b)}} helpers equivalent Javascript code is if (a === b), you can provide variables or values directly.

{{#if (eq number 1)}}
        number 1    
{{else}}                
      another number    
{{/if}}

The Mandrill mail service supports Handlebars and here it is possible to use "backticks" to evaluate an logical expression in a #if block:

{{#if `number < 0`}}
  negative
{{elseif `number == 42`}}
  the answer is 42
{{else}}
  positive and not 42
{{/if}}

I don't know if this possible in general, but you should try it out. It works fine for me.
