I somewhat already do that with the darwin toolset for picking out the 
correct one based on the architecture+target-os properties:

using darwin : 4.2~iphone
        : 
/Developer/Xcode-$(xcode)/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.2 
-arch armv6
        :	<striper>
        :	<architecture>arm <target-os>iphone
        ;

using darwin : 4.2~iphonesim
        : 
/Developer/Xcode-$(xcode)/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.2
        :	<striper>
        :	<architecture>x86 <target-os>iphone
        ;

Trough the use of toolset requirements.. But I still have to specify the 
toolset=darwin. Is that what you are referring to?
