Here's a fragment from one of my files:
<!-- set a property whose name is based on what OS we are -->
<property name="${os.name}.install" value="dummy"/>
...
<!-- a set of install targets, that does host-dependent things -->
<target name="install"
depends="installprep,installwin,installlinux,installsol"/>
<target name="installprep">
<uptodate property="action.notrequired" ...>
...
</uptodate>
...
</target>
<target name="installwin"
if="Windows 2000.install"
unless="action.notrequired">
<!-- action steps -->
</target>
<target name="installlinux"
if="Linux.install"
unless="action.notrequired">
<!-- action steps -->
</target>
<target name="installsol"
if="SunOS.install"
unless="action.notrequired">
<!-- action steps -->
</target>
