Doing *this* gets me a lot further:

You need two binaries for the two architectures. Let's call them mmk.alpha_exe and mmk.ia64_exe and you put them both in your bin directory. (Ask if that needs more explaining or instructions.)
Then you need to create a file called login.com in the nclark directory and put the following lines in it:
$ arch = f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME")
$ mmk :== "$PTAC$DKA0:[NCLARK.bin]MMK.''arch'_EXE"
Then when you log in you will have the MMK symbol pointing at the correct binary for the architecture you are on. To be pedantically correct (though unnecessary to solve your immediate problem) the definition of MMK here is a foreign command symbol, not a logical name.
