The value of the variable `window-system' is `x' under X-Windows,
`mac' under Carbon, and `tty' for a Terminal.

e.g.: (eq window-system 'mac) could replace your check.

Also, it may be better to test for specific capabilities, so that when
the Carbon build gets them your configuration will use them.  e.g.:

(if (display-images-p)
    (auto-image-file-mode t))
