I've used for a few years now a bit of code in /etc/sysconfig/openafs
that sets the sysname to be

    <arch>_<dist>_<major-version> 

As first in the list with the OpenAFS default as second.  So,

    Current sysname list is 'amd64_redhat_6' 'amd64_linux26'

or

    Current sysname list is 'i386_redhat_6' 'i386_linux26'
