It should be trivial to check what kernel is running to decide what WM to use.
How do you start X, and your WM?
startx runs .xinitrc as a shell script IIRC, and {k,g,x]dm run sessions from
/etc/X11/Sessions

sauron root # uname=2.4.22-lowbattery
sauron root # if [ "`echo $uname | egrep ck2$`" != "" ]; then echo "kernel ck2,
running gnome"; elif [ "`echo $uname | egrep lowbattery$`" != "" ]; then echo "kernel
lowbattery, running xfce"; fi
