The question is, if the complexity added by multi-arch support
overwhelms the base-complexity of the package. Unless there is only
one binary, you will (or better: should) probably end with multiple
subpackages. So, most packages have already a big base-complexity
and an additional '%{_with_fc2:BuildRequires: ...}' will not hurt.
