Here is the link to Apple firmware updates: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1395
Use System Profiler to determine current firmware. I believe you will find it under the Hardware Overview, Boot ROM version in System Profiler. The page above has links based on model to kbase articles from where the firmware updates can be downloaded. I would be willing to be that, since 10.2 is installed, your firmware is up to date but it will be quick and easy to check.
