The concern I would have with this is that you have the same logical package (let's say apr 1.2.2) built for different architectures needing to have a different groupId or artifactId for each architecture type. Unless the groupId or artifactId is constructed dynamically, poms that depend on a native artifact have to depend on a specific architecture type. I think it would be nice to write generic poms that depend on just the logical package (apr 1.2.2 instead of apr 1.2.2 x86_64) and have maven sense the machine architecture (and OS) and fetch the correct native artifact.
