I don't think so, the closest you can get is the OS type. See the SDK's system module:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/High-Level_APIs/system#platform

var system = require("sdk/system"); console.log("platform = " + system.platform); // returns things like 'winnt', 'linux' and 'darwin'

You could use the child_process module to run uname on UNIX systems or ver on Windows to get additional info.
