Sadly this is a nasty situation. (I'm in the same boat with munin).
There are 2 answers, neither ideal (I'd love to hear better):
1. Make your package archfull. Add ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch.
2. Leave it noarch and ExcludeArch: ppc64, then try and keep rebuilding
it until you hit a non ppc builder.
3. See if you can modify the package to do runtime determinism of
whether the dependency is there, and only use that functionality if
it's present. Personally I think that if that can't be done, then
option 1 is the right way to go.
