How about:

if test -d /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf ; then
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/proxy_arp
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/log_martians
else
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_proxy_arp
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_log_martians
fi

... seems to make more sense ...
