I put the comma because you can specify a condition and you can specify 
commands.  Without it, the next part of the sentence doesn't make sense.  I 
didn't want to reuse specify as that made the sentence feel redundant.  I think 
maybe the best idea would be to use "or" instead of the commas.

How about:

Normal breakpoint operations apply to pending breakpoints as well.  You may 
specify a condition for a pending breakpoint and/or commands to run when the 
breakpoint is reached.  You can also enable or disable the pending breakpoint.
