You could grep on the output of uname -a

uname -a
Linux caliban 2.4.4 #7 Fri Jun 8 15:26:26 CEST 2001 i686 unknown

for example:
if echo `uname -a` |grep "#7" >/dev/null
then\
	run X
elif echo `uname a` |grep "#8" >/dev/null
then\
	run Y
else run Z
fi

(hope there are no syntax errors in here)

But this is kinda ugly. If you rcompile a kernel, the number changes and
you have to change the script. There might be a better way.
