How about this:

-- cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------
(defmacro setq-save (option value)
  "Sets OPTION to VALUE if and only if OPTION is not already saved by
customize."
  `(and (not (custom-saved-p ',option))
        (setq ,option ,value)))
-- cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------

It might not be important to you but you might want to note that your `setq'
doesn't quite work the same as `setq' itself. `setq' takes multiple sym/val
pairs.
