There is already support in the platform for this, I think from 1.6 and later. You make shared libraries using the appropriate NDK for each ABI you support, and during install, the appropriate shared library from your APK is installed on the device. Several of my apps support ARM, x86 (for Android-x86.org builds) and i386 for Google TV. There is an NDK available for Android-x86 and an unofficial one for Google TV.
When you upload your APK to Market, it will notice which ABI's you support.
