You can directly wrap them as others have noted. However as my .emacs is
quite big I tend to define a number variables which I can test later.
For example:

(defvar I-am-in-X (eval 'window-system));
(defvar I-am-in-console (not (eval 'window-system)))
(defvar I-am-on-MacOSX (string-match "Carbon" (emacs-version)))
(defvar I-am-remote (getenv "SSH_TTY"))

And then later I have code like:

	  (if I-am-in-console
	      (progn
		(color-theme-initialize)
		(color-theme-euphoria)))
