Would using some combination of
erlang:system_info(system_architecture)
erlang:system_info(hipe_architecture)
work ?

The output on various systems:
1> erlang:system_info(system_architecture).
"i686-pc-linux-gnu"

1> erlang:system_info(system_architecture).
"i386-unknown-freebsd6.2"

1> erlang:system_info(system_architecture).
"i386-apple-darwin8.8.1"
