FWIW I've found it works well to split things into core settings, the same
across all architectures, and then separate files that hold the
modifications to the baseline settings.

My .zshenv file, then, has something like:

export MARCH=`/bin/uname | /usr/bin/tr A-Z a-z | /bin/sed 's/64//g'`

if [[ -a ~/.zshenv.$MARCH ]] then
    source ~/.zshenv.$MARCH
fi

And then I have a .zshenv.linux, .zshenv.osx, .zshenv.irix, etc.
(Similarly for .zshenv, etc.)
