So is there a way I can check the architecture? Also, I would like to know if

Solaris 10 is the only supported version of Solaris, and earlier (sun4m)
hardware can not be upgraded, I would like to be able to test the
architecture.
arch=`uname -m`
Any, that aside, how could I use the output of any arbitrary command, to
return something I can test on?
arch=`uname -m`
I continue to believe that the approach you are taking is wrong since
the work is entirely disposable. What you find out this year may be
wong (or insufficient) next year, but maybe next year you will have
moved on to some other project.
It is must better to document all platform specific issues which are
found and the workarounds. That is what GCC and other large software
usually does.
