32-bit front-end on 64-bit machine

Just installed version 6.0.2.1 on a early 2008 mac pro running OS X 10.5.2.  

Though the Mathematica kernel version is reported as 64-bit, the front-end version is reported as 32-bit.   Should I be getting 64 for that not 32?

>From the system information output:

SystemInformationData[{"Kernel" -> {"Version" -> 
     "6.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (March 13, 2008)", 
    "ReleaseID" -> "6.0.2 (1009763, 1009696)",  

  "FrontEnd" -> {"Version" -> 
     "6.0 for Mac OS X x86 (32-bit) (March 13, 2008)", 
    "ReleaseID" -> "6.0.2 (1009763, 1009694)",

Thanks, please reply in the group.
