I suspect you could run a System Search to see if the service is installed, and set the result to a PROPERTY - then use that PROPERTY as a Condition for the Component associated with the Service. I believe that would work. I use something similar but with a fleet of Windows Services that are all installed using a Custom Action with a [SERVICENAME] -i parameter so not exactly the same as what you are after, but since a traditional Service uses a Component behind the scenes and you can Condition the Component - I'm fairly confident it should work for you.
