On 10.4 through 10.6 systems (I believe - tested for sure on 10.5), the 
arch command takes multiple arch values and uses the first applicable 
one.  So "arch -i386 -ppc /path/to/exectable" may do what you want.  The 
10.7 version of arch also accepts multiple archs but it emits the 
message "warning: unsupported architecture: ppc".  OTOH, the 10.7 arch 
has "-32" and "-64" arguments which work as expected.
