Maybe the easiest way to do it is to run `ifconfig' from a login
script, parse the output, and write the local IP address to an
environment variable.

Then you can do like this in Emacs:

(let ((x (getenv "IPADDR")))
  (cond ((string-match "^10\\.10\\." x)
         ..do.stuff..)
        ((string-match "^12\\." x)
         ..do.other.stuff..)))
