The source code for Icon is the same for all platforms.
What differs from platform to platform are configuration files,
scripts for installation, and so forth. In some cases, there
are a lot of these. For example, in the Unix distribution there
are over 60 configuration directories for different flavors
of Unix. And for MS-DOS and OS/2 there are many directories for
configuration for different C compilers.
(There's an exception for the Macintosh, where we convert path
specifications in include files from the ordinary one to the
syntax the Macintosh uses.)
