Well, from the source code I would say it does not know about x86 yet:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpinstall/src/nsInstall.cpp#326

It just seems to be "Macintosh; PPC". The PPC is fixed coded for 
Macintosh. And I can tell you that Firefox reports PPC in its credits on 
an Intel iMac. I would say nobody changed that, yet, or better bothered 
to figure out whether it runs on Intel or PPC Mac.
