i run the same .emacs file on unix, mswind95/98 and 
mswindnt.  it's done in 2 parts (although it can be
done in one part).  one part is to define a function 
to describe the system characteristics:

(message "Set my cs-what-env...")
(defun cs-what-env ()
  "Returns a string indicating what kind of environment emacs runs in.
'E.g., Windows_95', 'Windows_NT', 'X11_windows'."
  (interactive)
  (let ((doze32 (if (>= emacs-major-version 20) 'w32 'win32)))
    (cond ((eq window-system doze32)
           (or (getenv "OS") "Windows_95"))
          ((eq window-system 'x)
           (concat "X" window-system-version "_windows"))
          (t "Console"))))

the second part is to use the defined function to choose
what to do in a given circumstance:

(message "Set my fonts...")
(let ((sys-env (cs-what-env)))
  (cond
   ;;---------------------------------------- Unix ----
   ((string= "X11_windows" sys-env)
    (message "Set my X11_windows fonts...")
    (setq cs-default-font "5x8") 
    (setq initial-frame-alist
          (append '((width . 100)
                    (height . 50))
                  initial-frame-alist))
    (setq cs-default-font "5x8")
    )
   ;;---------------------------------------- MSwind ----
   ((or (string= "Windows_95" sys-env)
        (string= "Windows_NT" sys-env))
    (message "Set my MSwind fonts...")
    ; set font to terminal, regular, 6 point.
    (setq cs-default-font "-*-Terminal-normal-r-*-*-8-60-*-*-c-*-*-oem-")
    )
   (t nil)))

good luck.
