I use "(eq window-system nil)", wrapping it with an "unless" (in this 
case, though an "if" would work too).

I actually have several conditions for various types of window systems; 
various values for window-system might be nil (as above), x, w32, 
Interix, ns (Cocoa-flavored Mac) or mac (Carbon-flavored Mac). (All of 
the preceding besides "nil" would be designated like so: "(eq 
window-system 'w32)", i.e., with the single-quote.) I also use "(eq 
system-type 'something)" for one or two things.

For the pathologically interested, you can see my .emacs here:
