I do not yet have a well-defined idea of how to do this, but I imagine that with a second iso attached to a release and possibly a second script or letting the script autodetect the cpu type, one could enable an ARM installation with mostly the same scripts.

It seems that both the regular and community repositories are made available for ARM at https://archlinuxarm.org/ but I am not sure yet what exactly would need to be changed to get our installer running with it. For example is there special care needed for the mirrorlists?

I have a raspberry pi for testing, but maybe this would be helpful for emulation https://github.com/unicorn-engine/unicorn (?)

So tarballs for different processors are hosted at http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os
archiso does not seem to be available.

This could be a help for orientation https://github.com/wrzlbrmft/arch-pi

It may be adequate to create a new repository for a ArchARM installer, as the two don't seem to mix so well.
However, one can apparently use the AUR also on the arm version, see https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs
