I think your hunch is actually the reverse of what's happened though. In the Flash Player 9 archive the Mac version went from being one version to two (at release 9r20). Release 9r28 had a PowerPC plugin (1.92Mb) and a separate Intel version (4.32Mb). The latest release (9r124) has a PowerPC plugin (2.29Mb) and a separate Intel version (5.04Mb) Thanks for clarifying some more regarding the Mac player Ian.

For a while during player 7 or 8 they were artificially inflating the download to see how it effected users. I'm sure from that data, they modified (or maybe quantified for the first time) how big the player could really get. As for the mac version, I suspect most of the boat is from the fact that its a Universal Binary, containing both PowerPC and Intel code.
