I don't quite understand what you're after.  The way you've described 
it, the question whether --without-docs should be passed depends on the 
architecture.  Certainly you can do something like

ifneq (,$(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),m68k arm)
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += --without-docs
endif

This is a fairly typical procedure.

I'm not convinced, however, that that's what you're asking.
