Yes, the multilibwhitelist can do that and accepts regexp patterns (as that
is the way to add .*-devel compatarch packages e.g.).

Btw, if the scripts are the same as EPEL, try "cvs up MultiLib.py" to get
an update. With it, ppc repos can be configured for ppc64 biarch pushes.
And the multilib resolver is improved (basearch main pkgs now are
sufficient, compatarch main pkgs are only pulled in if there is a strict
dependency or if a compatarch dependency is considered "better" by Yum).
