I read the release and unless I'm blind I don't see any mention of support for non-G3 systems

The operative word is support. This has been talked about on the Omnigroup mailing lists and several web sites. Apple will only support it on G3 systems. However, it should still run on other systems (iMacs, PBs, later model PowerMacs, including some clones). It should run, but if you have any problems with it, don't call Apple, you're on your own.

The Darwin release includes a lot of code for Intel systems. There's a chance that you could get a build of Darwin (MachBSD4.4) and install Mac OS X Server over that, and have your own (unsupported) OS X Server on Intel. It'll take a little while (days to weeks) until its clear. Stepwise (http://www.stepwise.com) is a good site for info on things like that.
