What pops into my head is using a custom script.  Basically do a short
shell script that if something like ifconfig sees the mac addres, echo
vmware, else echo your default.. something like:

    <rule>
      <custom1>
        <script>
<![CDATA[
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
if [ -n "`ifconfig | awk '/HWaddr/{print $NF}' | egrep -i '^00:0C:29'`"
]
then
  echo vmware
else
  echo default
fi
]]>
        </script>
        <match>*</match>
        <match_type>exact</match_type>
      </custom1>
    </rule>

    later.. your arch match can do..
    <profile>@custom1@-@arch@.xml</profile>

I think that would work.. and AFAIK you can use multiple variables like
that.

I get which disk profile to use for our image based on passed
profile=profile_name using a custom script this way.  We only use one
variable mixed in another match rule.
