Ehh. This is technically correct, but (to my knowledge) practically no ports do this. Simply checking against os.major is much more common and is sufficient for most purposes. I also find it easier to understand.

    if {${os.major} < 10} {
        # do something on systems older than Snow Leopard
    }
