Taxonomy ID with a PHP conditional statement to control output

I'm trying to control some output based on a node's taxonomy terms. In template.php, I've got a function that creates tabs based on the node's content type. "Resource Programs" and "Resource Forums" have an Instructions tab; some other content types ("Exhibits" and "Exhibitions") have an Objectives tab instead. Then all content types have another 3 tabs that are the same for all.

Now I've got to figure out a way to hide that Instructions/Objectives tab for some of the Resource Programs (while leaving the rest of the tabs intact). My idea was to add a taxonomy term, categorize the relevant programs as such and then change the output based on that term.

It's a temporary sort of thing - eventually, the Instructions tab and the data outputted there will come back, so making a new content type or removing anything from the existing content isn't really an option (as far as I know).

Here's my code so far, from my theme's template.php file:

//builds the tabs
function nisenet_tabpage($element) {
  $tabname = !empty($element['#tab_name']) ? $element['#tab_name'] : 'tabs-' . $element['#tabset_name'] . '-' . $element['#index'];
  $output ='<div id="' . $tabname . '">';
  $output .= '<h2 class="drupal-tabs-title"><a name="'. $tabname . '">'. $element['#title'] .'</a></h2>';
  $output .= $element['#content'] . $element['#children'];
  $output .='</div>';
  return $output;
}

function nisenet_catalog_product_content($node) {
  global $user;
    drupal_add_js('misc/collapse.js');

  $form = array();
  $form['nisenet_catalog_content'] = array(
    '#type' => 'tabset',
  );

// my question - can I put an "if" here that will only run the following if/else code for nodes that do not have term ID 1008?

  if ($node->type == 'resource_program' || $node->type == 'resource_forum') {
		    $form['nisenet_catalog_content']['instructions'] = array(
		      '#type' => 'tabpage',
		      '#title' => t('Instructions'),
		      '#content' => nisenet_catalog_build_instructions($node),
		      '#tab_name' => 'instructions',
		    );
		  }
		 
  else {
		    $form['nisenet_catalog_content']['instructions'] = array(
		      '#type' => 'tabpage',
		      '#title' => t('Objectives'),
		      '#content' => nisenet_catalog_build_objectives($node),
		      '#tab_name' => 'objectives',
		    );
		  }

  // then other tabs get built, just like the ones above (minus the if/else)

  return tabs_render($form);

}
