Again IMHO 2 issues.

1) Sparc:
there is nothing there yet, so yes, an IFDEF in EditorMacroScript would 
be in order to avoid registration at all.

In fact I wonder why it does not happen. There already is:

{$if defined(cpupowerpc)}
   {$ifNdef darwin}  {$DEFINE PasScriptNotAvail } {$ifend}
   {$ifNdef cpu32}  {$DEFINE PasScriptNotAvail } {$ifend}
{$ifend}
{$if defined(cpusparc) }  {$DEFINE PasScriptNotAvail } {$ifend}

const
   EMSSupported = {$IFDEF PasScriptNotAvail} False {$ELSE} True {$ENDIF} ;

- ppc only on 32 bit darwin
- no sparc

2)ARM:
pascal script has some support, it may be fixable, but I can not test...
