I've just discovered that my suggestion was flawed by the fact that bash only supports aliases when in interactive mode. You could try my suggestion of testing for nawk etc using the AWK variable as suggested by bakunin.
Just remember that where you would normally invoke awk or nawk in your scripts you use
$AWK (or preferably
${AWK}) instead.
Sorry about that.
