I think is is not an easy task and currently it's not worth it because
I do not know that many FAI users on other architectures. 
Since mkinitrd-cd is only available on i386 it would be very difficult
to create an fai-cd for other archs.

ATM mkinitrd-cd can't be built on amd64. AFAIR it's also not easy to
fix that.
