I have done that by pretty and/or ugly statements like the following
$vhosts_dir = $operatingsystem ? {
centos => "$apache::centos::config_dir/vhosts.d",
gentoo => "$apache::gentoo::config_dir/vhosts.d",
debian => "$apache::debian::config_dir/vhosts.d",
ubuntu => "$apache::ubuntu::config_dir/vhosts.d",
openbsd => "$apache::openbsd::config_dir/vhosts.d",
default => '/etc/apache2/vhosts.d',
}

so far it works quite well.
