I don't remember the value of the gravitation on Mars, but I wouldn't 
call it zero or low g. So I wouldn't change the rules much.

If you are thinking about an un-terraformed Mars, the thin athmosphere 
would be the main difference to an Earth-type planet. Some suggestions:
- use only power-armoured infantry 
- if you use 'normal' infantry treat them as being under gas attack
- reduce aircraft capabilities (less payload, higher vulnerability or 
cost), ditto for hovercraft.
- Increase DFFG range due to thinner athmosphere
- Increase HVC/MDC range due to lower gravity
- Better terrain performance for grav-vehicles due to lower gravity
- Appropriate terrain - no water features or vegetation
- sandy areas create dust cloud (treat as smoke screen) if crossed by 
hovercraft
