Not much. You can preview the image in Photoshop using typical windows settings (View:Proof Setup:Windows RGB) and adjust for a happy medium between platforms via curves/levels. But because the gamma settings are different between platforms, and monitors vary from computer to computer even on the same platform, there is no 100% way to ensure the "right" look on an image. Spoken from a pre-press background, and explaining this very fact to many many different clients on the PC side :-)
