With a single `custom-file', using Customize, no, I don't think so.
But you can do it using Lisp, in your init file (~/.emacs). (Use a separate
`custom-file' for the stuff that Customize manages. Keep your init file for
Lisp that you manage.)
Try first using Customize on each of the platforms separately, to see what
values it gives you for those faces, for the automatically generated
`custom-set-faces' sexp.
Then remove the settings for those exceptional faces from `custom-file', moving
them to your init file instead and wrapping them with (custom-set-faces ...):
(if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
(custom-set-faces ...)
(custom-set-faces ...))
