You can use facts and 'if' conditionals or 'case' selectors and test the OS facts. IIRC that would be kernel (windows or Linux) and operatingsystemmajrelease (2008, 2008R2, etc.) in puppet 3 and deeper within the $facts['os'] on puppet 4 or 3 with future parser and structured facts - but double check that. You can run `facter -p` on a sample node to see what facts exist that contain what you are looking for.
You might also review a module like puppetlabs/ntp to see some examples of using conditionals to set defaults, in the params class. The latest version is puppet 4 only but the v4.x train of the module supports puppet 3. Please note, puppet 3 support ends on 12/31/2016 so please start targeting puppet 4 only or ensure you are future proofing so you can transition from 3 to 4 quickly.
