Just a follow-up to this posting. The following code does work, just make sure you are careful where in the "meta.tpl" you are placing this code. There are plenty of "if" statements in "meta.tpl". Make sure you don't get your code nested inside another "if" statement.
{if $main eq "product"}
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="{$product.product}">
{else}
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Your normal meta description here">
{/if}
