For this particular case, it is more involved than that, since more than
the OS must be checked -- the 'guifont' option comes in several
incompatible variants which depend not only on your OS but also, for
some OSes, on your GUI flavour.

if has('gui') " if not GUI-enabled, 'guifont' cannot be set
if has('gui_mac') " Macintosh including MacVim
set gfn=Monaco:h10
elseif has('gui_gtk2') " GTK2 but not GTK1
set gfn=Monospace\ 10
elseif has('gui_photon')
set gfn=Monospace:s10
elseif has('gui_kde') " obsolete, but we might get an old build
set gfn=Monospace/10/-1/5/500/0/0/1/0
elseif has('x11') " other X11 including GTK1
set gfn=-*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-*
else " other, including Windows
set gfn=Monospace:h10:cDEFAULT
endif
endif

In each case, the first or only number is the font size: the bigger the
number, the bigger the font, vary at will.

See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI
