How do you want to detect "Unix"? If file separator == "/" is enough for
you, you might use something like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="PROJECT" default="test" basedir=".">

  <property name="pathSeparatorIs${file.separator}" value="1"/>

  <target name="test" depends="onlyOnDosWindows,onlyOnUnix"/>

  <target name="onlyOnDosWindows" if="pathSeparatorIs\">
    <echo message="DOS/Windows"/>
  </target>

  <target name="onlyOnUnix" if="pathSeparatorIs/">
    <echo message="Unix"/>
  </target>

</project>
