Depends on what you mean by "won't run on the G4 or G5".
Since Firefox is open source it's always possible (in theory at least)
to recompile the source to get an executable for those CPU's.

As long as trunk can be built against the Leopard frameworks, it will
be offered as a Universal compilation (PPC and x86). Eventually,
maybe two or three years from now, it will move on to require the
frameworks in Snow Leopard and that-cat-that-comes-next. At that
point, it will be an x86-only build because those frameworks don't
exist in ppc form.
