If someone wanted it, then it would probaby be worth asking Wolfram Reserach if they would licence a student version on x86 or SPARC. My uni had a site license (any number of users, any platform). The license allowed free use at home by staff for reseach/teaching. When I asked for a SPARC license, that was originally declined with the comment "A Sun is not considered a home computer". After I pointed out that Suns were affordable as home computers, and that many people run them, I was given a SPARC license. It was made clear it was a one-off/geusture of good-will/special ... or some similar expression, but the fact it I got the license for use on SPARC. I have it on good authority, from someone at Wolfram Research (UK), that all new and recetnly renewed Mathematica licenses allow free use at home by students - not just staff. IMHO, that is a real bonus. I don't know the details, and once again I suspect it is officially only Mac/Windows/Linux, but I would always ask.
