If it helps, here's a function to test for OS X-hood:

function isOSX
  -- Mac OS system versions are of the form "x.y.z"
  -- OS X system versions are "10.x.x"
  set the itemDelimiter to "."
  if the platform is "MacOS" \
     and item 1 of the systemVersion >= 10 \
     then return true
  else return false
end isOSX
