I'm not sure if I got what you mean correctly, but I think you can
write:
    let normr r =
      let x = mod_float r pi2 in
      if x > 0.0 then begin
        if x > pi then
          -.pi2 +. x
        else
          x
      end
      else begin
        if x < -.pi then
          pi2 +. x
        else
          x
      end

(Two begin-end pairs are not necessary in the code above but they are
 for readability; in case you are confused by them, just ignore them.)

Of course you can write it in a more straightforward way if you don't
care the order of the tests....
    let normr r =
      let x = mod_float r pi2 in
      if x > pi then
        -.pi2 +. x
      else if x >= -.pi then
        x
      else
        pi2 +. x
