Writing an R package that is different for each architecture

I am writing an R package in which you can create networks and output them in different types of files. I found the SVGRTipsDevice package that can be used to create SVG images containing tooltips and hyperlinks that I really like. I included this in my package as one of the output options, which makes it an integral part of my package, but part of it nonetheless (the one I want to keep).

The problem is that this package is intended only for 32-bit users. Since my package depends on this, 64-bit users cannot install it. It seems to me that I either have to make my package only 32 bits, or remove the capabilities of SVG (currently I chose the latter to upload to CRAN with a link to the full package on my site).

Is there a way to do this differently? How to make the package accessible for everyone, but only make SVG features available for 32-bit users?
