One way is to create one init file named after each host, e.g.,
`edit.el', `build.el', and `debug.el', say in the directory
$HOME/emacs.  Then, use $HOME/.emacs as a wrapper which loads the
relevant init file.  So, `.emacs' would just contain the forms

(defun hostname (domain-name)
  "Return the hostname component of DOMAIN-NAME."
  (if (string-match "\\..*" domain-name)
      (replace-match "" t nil domain-name)
    domain-name))

(load (expand-file-name (hostname system-name) "~/emacs"))

HTH,
Raghavendra.
