If you really, really need to use different markup based on the body_class classes, then use get_body_class

$classes = get_body_class();
if (in_array('home',$classes)) {

} else {
    // some other markup
}

But there are probably better ways to do this, like @Rob's suggestion of Conditional Tags. Those map pretty closely to the classes used by body_class.
