This looks like a prime candidate for a HAVE_RTC config variable
So you do:

 config RTC
 	tristate "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support"
+	depends on HAVE_RTC && !RTC_DEV_CMOS

config HAVE_RTC
	bool

(No "depends on" allowed!)


And then the architectures that do support the RTC Framework do an:
(arch/x86/Kconfig as an example):
 config X86
+	select HAVE_RTC

So when PPC suddenly supports it they add this single
select statement and no more Kconfig magic needed.

See Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt for a bit more elaborate
description.
