Or just use org-gtd-file, since you already have it, e.g.:

(setq org-todo-keywords
      (cond ((string= org-gtd-file (expand-file-name "~/private.org"))
	     '((type "NEXT" "WAITING" "APPT" "DONE")))
	    ((string= org-gtd-file (expand-file-name "~/institute.org"))
	     '((type "PRESENT" "HOLIDAY" "DELEGATED" "DONE")))))
