That is allright, but why abort "makepkg" on non-authorized architectures? 
Better to give a warning that this build is unauthorized, unsupported, or 
whatever, instead of aborting. To insert the i586 tag, to make the package 
build, just defeats the purpose as you describe it. Sharing that package 
might make others believe that it it is authorized by the archlinux 
developers.
