I don't think there is a single specific command to do what you want,
but you can implement it like so:

ifeq ($(origin REQUIRED_VAR),undefined)
   $(error REQUIRED_VAR is not set)
endif

You can read about the $(origin) command in the make manual to see if
you want to do something fancier than just check for 'undefined'.
