Yes:
axp = DEC Alpha
ia64 = Itanium, Intel's 64-bit CPU
ppc = PowerPC, a RISC chip co-developed by Apple and IBM, in the
family of IBM's POWER architecture
s390 = IBM Mainframe, S/390, now called the zSeries
SPARC = Sun's architecture; actually the 32-bit is a standardized
architecture, ratified by one of the big standards orgs (OSI
or ANSI maybe?)

An HP-9000 is a PA-RISC processor; I dunno if there are any current
distros for it.
