No problem, I'll test for Solaris first - something like:

if [ `uname` - "SunOS" ]; then
        if [ `arch -k` = "sun4v" ] ; then
          <do what I to do>
        fi
fi

I was going to ask on AIX and HP-UX groups too, just in case someone 
decided to port to one of those platform. But there is no point if its 
not even supported on some linux distros.
