Unsyntax-splicing to the rescue!

#lang racket
(require (for-syntax syntax/parse))

(define-syntax (foo stx)
  (syntax-parse stx
    [(_ id:id (~optional super:id) (field:id ...))
     #`(struct id
         #,@(if (attribute super)
                (list #'super)
                '())
         (field ...))
     ]))

(struct A (a))

(foo B (b))
(foo C A (c))

(A 1)
(B 2)
(C 3 4)
