It's fairly easy to have eclass code only run on ~arch versions of a
*package*. It can be done either by version-ranged code or by using two
eclasses (don't think anyone's ever actually had the need to do it the
two eclass way, though).

The one thing *not* to do is to try to detect whether or not the user's
running ~arch.
