You could use the org-clock-hooks `org-clock-in-hook',
`org-clock-out-hook' and `org-clock-cancel-hook' in combination with a
function that checks for the desired conditions and sets the variables
accordingly.

A question that came in my mind: What happens if you clock out or
cancel a clock? Are the variables kept or set to a default value? Or
to the value they had before clocking in?

Regards
