Yep. Just to put this into perspective: tiny NeXT shipped NeXTStep on 4 architectures. M68K, Intel, PA-RISC and SPARC. They had at least two more in the lab, M88K and PPC.
Compiling for different architectures was a checkbox in ProjectBuilder (after you took care of endian issues, once). Much easier than in Xcode today.
My favorite was that they apparently shipped an additional architecture by accident: the developer tools came with one of the aforementioned architectures long after it had been officially dropped.
