Don't do this...

Yes, your machine thinks it's running OS X Server, but attempting to install the OS X Server 10.2.2 Update will, at best, leave your machine with non-functional, or maybe half-working, Server bits. At worst, it will hose your machine. The Server updater, like many Apple updaters, expects the items that are being updated to exist beforehand in their default locations in order for them to be updated properly. They of course don't exist. Another issue would be that you'd have no valid serial number for OS X Server; but the bigger issue would be that you'd still be missing a LOT of OS X Server parts.
