The empty list {} should work. For example:

g1 = Plot[
   x^2, {x, -1, 1},
     DisplayFunction ->
       Identity];
  g2 = Plot[x^3, {x, -1, 1}, DisplayFunction -> Identity];

g3 := If[t, g1, {}]

t = True;

Show[g3, g2, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]

(two graphs)

t=False;

Show[g3,g2,DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction]

(one graph)
