How 'bout something like

   (defcustom gnutls-trustfile
       (let ((file (if (boundp 'cert-bundle-location)
                       cert-bundle-location))
             (candidates 
              '("/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" ; Debian, Gentoo, Arch.
                "/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt"   ; Fedora and RHEL.
                "/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem"             ; Suse.
                )))
         (while candidates
           (if (file-readable-p (car candidates))
               (setq file (car candidate) candidates nil)
             (setq candidates (cdr candidates))))
         file)
     "Name of the CA bundle file.
   The file may be in PEM or DER format, as per the GnuTLS documentation."
     :group 'gnutls
     :type '(choice (const nil) (file :tag "Bundle filename")))
