I'm on an Intel Mac running OS X 10.5.2 Leopard. I get the following values:

Safari 3.1.1 => "MacIntel?" Webkit => "MacIntel?" Firefox 12.0.0.11 => "MacIntel?"

The values I'm currently working with: 

Win32           # observed in FF3.0 and IE8 on *64-bit* Windows as well
MacIntel
MacPPC
Linux i686
Linux x86_64    # observed in FF3.0/CentOS5 64-bit
SunOS           # from MSDN docs
HP-UX           # from MSDN docs

I haven't see the "Linux x86_64" one mentioned in various docs before.

I don't know what the browsers in various smart phones report. Anyone? Just enter "javascript:alert(navigator.platform);" in your phone's browser.
