Are some portions of OS X software installers operating like gentoo? Where apps are compiled for the specific instruction set of the CPU it's being installed on?

I don't mean everything, just that it's an option with that fancy installer for developers. I always wondered what that really long "optimization step" was. Frequently it happens to be the length of a kernel compile.
