How do we identify something that was labelled as ppc64 and was
pre-split, vs something that is post-split, and ONLY supposed PPC64 big
endian, and NOT ppc64le.

Under this proposal, both of variants would have KEYWORDS="ppc64".

What if the ppc64 splits into ppc64be & ppc64le to be extremely clear?

Remove ppc64 without le/be suffixes.
