Short for "no architecture". It is a term used mainly in package management systems to mark packages which are architecture independent. Such packages usually contain graphics, documentation or similar data that can be used on any architecture.
it means that that RPM should be useable/installable on any architecture (ix86, IA64, PowerPC, sparc, etc.). It's not bound to any one processor architecture.
