I try to have one .emacs between Mac OSX, Linux and NT, here what i
defined :
;windows
(if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
    (progn
        ...
    ))

;linux
(if (eq system-type 'linux)
    (progn
        ...
    ))

;mac
(if (eq system-type 'darwin)
    (progn
        ...
    ))

for macintosh, i use darwin, as it works both for console and windowed
system.
If you want also to check between console and graphical : test if
window-system is not nil (for example to define a default-frame-alist)
