"osname" is currently set by config/auto/arch.pm, based on perl5's
$Config{archname}, which, in turn, is based on the output of `uname -a`,
along with a lot of other heuristics accumulated over the years.
Presumably, there is some existing file one could test for or existing
command one could run to determine if this is RTEMS or not.
Parrot doesn't generally use perl5's Config{osvers}, though parrotbug uses
it in bug reports. Oddly, init/hints/freebsd.pm recomputes $osversion,
but never uses it. I think it would make sense to add an "osvers" key to
the existing "cpuarch" and "osname" keys in the config/auto/arch.pm step.
