I would go for this myself, using Steve's example:

-  if ((fd = open(fname, readonly? O_RDONLY : (O_RDWR|O_CREAT))) < 0) {
+  if (readonly)
+    fd = open(fname, O_RDONLY);
+  else
+    fd = open(fname, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR);
+  if (fd < 0) {

But please do what your programmer's sense suggests. You're the
master of your code.
