install install-file : file.txt : 
<variant>debug,<address-model>32:<location>bin_debug32
                                     
 <variant>release,<address-model>32:<location>bin_release32 ; #etc.

, which won't quite work yet unless address-model is set explicitly, or:

install install-file : file.txt : <conditional>@file-install-location ;

import property-set ;

rule file-install-location ( properties * )
{
   local ps = [ property-set.create $(properties) ] ;
   local variant = [ $(ps).get <variant> ] ;
   local addr-model = [ $(ps).get <address-model> ] ;
   addr-model ?= 32 ; # if <address-model>32 is assumed by default
   return <location>bin_$(variant)$(addr-model) ;
}

HTH,
