Yes, in section 5.2 (`debian/rules' - the main building script):
`binary-arch' builds the binary packages which are specific to a
particular architecture, and `binary-indep' builds those which are
not.

If you're already using dh_make-generated stuff, try
/usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/debianm/rules for an example. It passes -a
and -i to various debhelper commands to work on architecture-dependent
and -independent binary packages respectively. Aside from that you need
to have the appropriate Architecture: lines in debian/control ('any' for
arch-dependent, 'all' for arch-independent).
