Depending on what you need to do, you may want to use something like Environment.OperatingSystem, or if you need to make a distinction between OS X and Linux/Unix, go deeper and P/Invoke uname(2). Why exactly do you need to differentiate between the OSes?

Something like:

#if OSX
  public class Foo : NSObject
#else
  public class Foo
#endif

I know I can define OSX in the project settings but I wanted something a
bit less error-prone than having to rely on my memory to add that into
new projects.
