The reason for this is that Apple added more functionality to 10.3 and to make use of that, it will no longer run on OSX 10.2 (codenamed Jaguar). To make the game useable on Jaguar, then a special download is available, but it will miss the bugfixes/features, that relies on newer functionality.

The general download is a universal binary and should work great on all macs using 10.3.9 or newer, no matter what processor it got. You should at all time avoid the Jaguar Build if possible.
