That sounds to me like you're using ${DISTRO} for a purpose that was not
really intended.  I do have some sympathy for the scenario you mention
but I'm not convinced that adding these new ARCHS for everyone is the
right answer. 

Obviously you're welcome to bash PACKAGE_ARCHS any way you want in your
own DISTRO.conf file and I think that's probably the right place for
this sort of thing rather than putting it in the global bitbake.conf and
causing extra complexity for everyone.  Or maybe you could consider
using ${MACHINE}, which is already a PACKAGE_ARCH, to discriminate
between the different packages.
