Well, how about just using the GetVersionGS call...
================================= example =====================================
#define SYS6 0x0401

{ Boolean have_System6 = FALSE;   /* take advantage of System 6 features */
  VersionRecGS GSOSversion = {1, 0};
	.
	.
	.
  GetVersionGS (&GSOSversion);

  if (GSOSversion.version & (majorRelNumMask | minorRelNumMask) >= SYS6)
    have_System6 = TRUE;
	.
	.
	.
}
