Therefor I have two question:

Does the buildsystem support it?

Can I specify several archs.

I assume arch depending requirtes are not helpful yet. I have a package
called fedora-ksplice which contains only shell scripts, so it may be a 
noarch
package. But unfortunately it's depends on ksplice which is only available
for %{x86} and x86_64. This caused, that the package could not build as an
noarch package, because that make no sense to put a noarch 
fedora-ksplice package
to a ppc repository.
