Related, that may affect Solaris, too. I believe Sun prefers the amd64 prefix.
We should be OK there. I just did a "pkg install editor/gnu-emacs" on Solaris 11.4, and its (emacs-version) returns "GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-pc-solaris2.11, X toolkit, Xaw scroll bars)" which means it's using x86_64. (Though, eeeeuuuw, Xaw? Really?)
And there's no telling what some of the other lesser known distros are doing.
Sure, but distros can put any string they want there; we can't possibly support them all, and it's good to promote a common standard.
