I don't think this is a good idea, especially as it afects the user interface for all boards.
Please feel free to define local settings for boards that are maintained by you (oops... there aren't any...), but I don't want to change this globally.
Instead, you can create the localversion-<something> file and the build system will take care of the rest, for example:
------------cut---------- ~/git-repo/u-boot $ cat localversion-cm-t3730 -cm-t3730-1 ------------cut----------
and it gives me:
U-Boot 2011.09-cm-t3730-1 (Oct 11 2011 - 11:52:34)
