In my reading of the proposal, not-tier-1 arches will receive appropriate space and resources off the main mirror network if they can demonstrate viability (working buildd, basic unix functionality, compiled 50%, 5 developers, 50 users) and DFSG-ness (freely usable, unmodified Debian source). As far as I can see all current official Debian arches fulfill these criteria. For the in-development arches like k*bsd with a handful of developers and a extremly small userbase other solutions are already used.
