Would it make more sense, or would it be “cleaner” to use a variable?
You can get rid of the temp variable before the command definition but 
now you have to access it with a different method in \mymacro, below is 
one way (LMTX only) but \setvariable and \getvariable work as well.
\define[1]\mymacro
   {\iftok{#1}{\getvalue{previousmymacro}}%
      same as last time
    \else
      it is different from last time
    \fi
    \setvalue{previousmymacro}{#1}}
That was the approach that I meant. Thank you.

But would you consider one way to be better?
