More likely 32 vs 64 bit x86 (ix86 vs x86_64).

Not exactly -- it is more likely universal [shared] library support or
universal binary support. Or 32-bit support of any sort.

It is really unlikely to build for something other than x86 on a Mac these 
days -- requires some serious hackery to get the PowerPC and/or M68K compilers 
installed and get things configured to compile that way on a really modern Mac 
(I guess it can be done, but it is not going to be something done by mistake). 
Messing up between 32 and 64 bit or not getting the universal binary thing is 
an easy mistake.  And it is entirely possible that if you create a proper 
universal binary for both 32 and 64 bit, you land on a 64-bit only Mac without 
universal shared libraries...

I don't believe modern / current MacOSX versions are even available for 
PowerPC machines and Apple has not made PowerPC machines in some time (over a 
decade or two).
