While I don't see why we should bother about the features of Emacs 21
for changes in 22/23 I think that testing for tty should be sufficient.

How about something along the lines of:

(defface mm-uu-extract '(;; Colors from `gnus-cite-3' plus background:
                         (((type tty)
                           (class color)
                           (background dark))
                          (:foreground "white"
                           :background "dark blue"))
                         (((type tty)
                           (class color)
                           (background light))
                          (:foreground "dark blue"
                           :background "white"))
                         (((class color)
                           (background dark))
                          (:foreground "light yellow"
                           :background "dark green"))
                         (((class color)
                           (background light))
                          (:foreground "dark green"
                           :background "light yellow"))                  
                         (t
                          ()))
  "Face for extracted buffers."
