Doug, methinks you are optimizing a cheap resource (disk space) in
favor of an expensive one (programmer time).  The disk space consumed
by the UT2004 binaries is less than 10% of the total install, so
shipping every binary you have wouldn't make it significantly bigger. 
Also, the Mac has support for fat binaries courtesy of the 68k
migration, so there may be built-in platform support for shipping both
vs. writing (and testing) a more complicated installer...
