While I don't see why we should bother about the features of Emacs 21
for changes in 22/23 I think that testing for tty should be sufficient.

How about something along the lines of:

(defface mm-uu-extract '(;; Colors from `gnus-cite-3' plus background:
			 (((type tty)
			   (class color)
			   (background dark))
			  (:foreground "white"
			   :background "dark blue"))
			 (((type tty)
			   (class color)
			   (background light))
			  (:foreground "dark blue"
			   :background "white"))
			 (((class color)
			   (background dark))
			  (:foreground "light yellow"
			   :background "dark green"))
			 (((class color)
			   (background light))
			  (:foreground "dark green"
			   :background "light yellow"))			 
			 (t
			  ()))
  "Face for extracted buffers."
  ;; See `mm-uu-verbatim-marks-extract'.
  :version "23.0" ;; No Gnus
  :group 'gnus-article-mime)
