Yes, there is a variable called TERM - you could do something like

if [ $TERM = unknown ]
  then
     TERM=`tset - -m unknown:?vt100`
fi
case $TERM in
           z29) PATH=z29_path          
                ;;
         vt100) PATH=vt100_path          
                ;;
         vt102) PATH=vt102_path          
                ;;
        wyse50) PATH=wyse50_path
                ;;
             *) PATH=default_path
                ;;
esac

 That should work fine
