You can do it magically with source, not sure about template though.
source =>
["puppet:///system/sudoers_$operatingsysstemrelease","puppet:///system/sudoers"]
(it will look for them in order. We have several that go hostname,
$lsbdistcodename, generic.)
If it doesn't work for template, you can do it the hard way:
if $operatingsystemrelease <= 5.4 {
file { "/etc/sudoers":....etc
} else {
file { "/etc/sudoers":.....
}
