Problem: I would like to display some custom fields in a post editor screen conditionally, based on the taxonomy terms assigned to the post.
Solution: Use conditional field display settings to enable or disable field groups based on taxonomy terms.

It's possible to set conditions for a field group's display based on the taxonomy term or terms selected. The conditional field group display will not change in the post editor screen, however, until the post has been saved. In other words it's not real-time, like a custom field condition. If that's okay, you can edit the Field Group in Toolset > Custom Fields, then edit the "Appears on" setting and select different criteria. You are probably familiar with choosing a specific post type here, but other tabs exist in the dialog. One of them is Taxonomies, as shown in the screenshot here. You can choose terms there, and if a post has those terms associated with it the conditional field group will be displayed in wp-admin.
