Thankfully, when you're building with mock or you're building natively 
on nearly anything that isn't el < 6, you can use other macros that are 
designed to solve precisely this problem.

%if 0%{?el5}
# SL 5-specific dependency info
%endif

%if 0%{?rhel} >= 6 || 0%{?fedora}
# Bits that apply to both SL 6+ and Fedora
%endif

%if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1140
# Info for openSUSE 11.4+
%endif

%if 0%{?mdkversion} || 0%{?mgaversion}
# (and so forth)
%endif
