I could be wrong, but I don't believe there is any such thing as an Intel-version of Office 2004. That's one of the big "new" features of Office 2008: it's (finally) Intel-native.
As for the broader topic, I never use the Migration Asst. if migrating from a PPC machine to an Intel one, or even from a Tiger machine to a new Leopard model for that matter. I simply create the account(s) on the new machine that were on the old machine (and I do try to keep the user-names the same) and then use Target Disk Mode to copy data over. You can copy all the Home folders (Desktop, Documents, etc.) except the Library folder. From that one, you should individually copy over things like your Address Book & iCal data (the "AddressBook" and "iCal" folders located in Library/Application Support/), your email data (the "Mail" folder in /Library/), Safari bookmarks/history/etc. (the "Safari" folder in /Library/), and lastly, any relevant .plist files in /Library/Preferences/ (for instance, the "com.apple.Mail.plist" file is where all your email account settings are stored). There might likely be other things you need, but could find with a little googling.
Hope this helps,
John
