How about:

  intel == i386
  amd64 == x86_64
  (and just forget about ia64 == itanium)

and then:

	freebsd       freebsd-intel
	linux-64      linux-amd64
	linux-ppc     linux-ppc
	linux         linux-intel (or just linux?)
	mswin         mswin
	osx-intel     osx-intel
	osx-ppc       osx-ppc
	osx-universal osx-universal
	sun           solaris-sparc (this *is* sparc, yes?)
        -             solaris-intel

Best wishes,
Taco
