I haven't seen anything or reversing a firmware upgrade, but you could try, at your own risk, using the older version and try doing an update with it.
What Firmware do you want to reverse?

I'd search Apple's Knowledge Database... Also: What Mac do you have specifically? Was the firmware update intended for your machine? Has Apple already released a newer version for your specific machine? My guess is you have an 1.6 GHz PowerMac G5 and installed the update for 'single-processor' PowerMacs that was only intended for 1.8 GHz machines (but badly labelled...). If so, I thought Apple had already released an updated firmware for your machine.

I wouldn't try to reverse a firmware upgrade unless it was on a machine I was willing to junk if it did not work.
