That would be SYSLINUX hackery, not GRUB hackery. The CD and DVD images
use ISOLINUX to boot. SYSLINUX has a module interface; I don't know if
it could handle a quick check for the "lm" CPU capability and choose a
different menu file or not.
FWIW, there is a syslinux module named ifcpu64 that will load different
kernels/initrds based on whether the cpu is 64-bit. I use it in
pxelinux at our school so our 64-bit Fedora image automatically gets
installed on the systems that can support it, while our 32-bit Fedora
image gets installed on the rest.
