Hmm. Neat idea. 

How about this?

(defvar kbd-macro-recording nil
  "Boolean for whether or not a macro is currently being recorded.")

(defun toggle-kbd-macro ()
  "Toggle macro recording on and off."
  (interactive)
  (if kbd-macro-recording
      (progn
        (setq kbd-macro-recording nil)
        (end-kbd-macro))
    (progn
      (setq kbd-macro-recording t)
      (start-kbd-macro nil))))

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-r" 'toggle-kbd-macro)

I bound it to C-x C-r instead, since C-m conflicts with my return key.
