Looking at more of the context of python.jam what you want is to select 
based on the <architecture> feature. Something like:

if ! [ feature.get-values architecture : $(condition) ] in ia64 ||
   [ feature.get-values python : $(condition) ]
     in 1.5 1.6 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4
{
   suffix = sl ;
}
else
{
   suffix = so ;
}

I notice though that we don't have pa-risc in the set of architectures:

# Type of CPU architecture to compile for.
feature architecture :
     # x86 and x86-64
     x86
     # ia64
     ia64
     # Sparc
     sparc
     # RS/6000 & PowerPC
     power
     # MIPS/SGI
     mips1 mips2 mips3 mips4 mips32 mips32r2 mips64
     #
     : propagated optional ;

I can add in "hppa" or "parisc". Or do you prefer something else? 
Similar question for the instruction-set feature. I can add in 
"pa-risc-1-0", "pa-risc-1-1", and "pa-risc-2-0". Or do you prefer a 
different nomenclature?
