When you build on a machine that shares a processor with other machines, MACHINE_ARCH reflects the processor and MACHINE reflects the system. I've been building with MACHINE_ARCH=m68k and MACHINE=mvme68k to check that my makefile changes are reasonably portable. For alpha, like i386 MACHINE is the same as MACHINE_ARCH, though. And I still think that PC98 should be a MACHINE, leaving MACHINE_ARCH=i386, instead of the special case of MACHINE_PC98 that is not built into make like MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH are.
