While I can not positively affirm if the macro facility support "in"
operator, following tested alternative simulates/mimics the "in" operator:

%let listvalues=%str( this should perform similarly as the in operator );
/* precede and end list of possible values with space */
%let testvalue=perform;

the following will resolve to true:

%if %index((&listvalue), %bquote( &testvalue )) %then %do;
       blah;
       blah;
       blah;
%end;
