no
And don't forget that next OSX (10.6) will not be available for PPC
but only for Intel, and full 64 bits

I used lipo to stich together 32 and 64 bits Intel clients libs but nothing else.
It worked well for using Flamerobin with a 64bits setup of Firebird.
But Python get sometimes confused about that, so I gave up.
In fact I think that universal binary for Firebird Server would be a bad choice.
