As long as there is no overhead - yes. But that's just my opinion.

If we only had two different systems, say Windows and Linux, it could be ok
if they fit in one document.

But since there are so many different combinations I fear that this could
blow up the size and the clearness of that document.

To give you an example:

- adding a user to MySQL is always the same procedure, so this one belongs
to the overall document
- installing a Debian package with apt-get is Debian-specific
- fixing a problem with truetype support on SuSE x.y is specific as well

Does this make sense in your eyes?

No, they're not. See above, I think MySQL is a good example. It just depends
on a successful MySQL installation, and once it is installed, it's always
the same.

Suggestion: What if you split the manuals into "(L|W)AMP installation" and
"TYPO3 installation"? The latter one depends on the result of the first
one, and it's possible that people already installed their webserver and
just want to use TYPO3.

In this case you could create as many "LAMP-on-my-Distribution" documents as
you like, but you could also simply link to an existing one since this task
is not very TYPO3-specific (see [1] for example).

I don't like the last point, too. The Debian manual doesn't conflict with
this, there's almost no overhead.
