Mine returns

t={
 ["machine"]="x86_64",
 ["nodename"]="...[my ip]...",
 ["release"]="10.0.0",
 ["sysname"]="Darwin",
 ["version"]="Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:46:25 PDT
2009; root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_X86_64",
}

but I'm booting in 64-bit mode (I need to reboot first to check for
return value in 32-bit mode).

On one hand uname doesn't return anything usable when booting with
32-bit kernel, but on the other hand one probably already runs the
64-bit luatex at the time when mtxrun needs to determine the
architecture.
