Seibertron is the original japanese spelling, while Cybertron is the name everywhere else.

Furthermore, while in Japan Cybertron was called Seibertron, the Autobots in Japan were called Cybertrons.
So, in Japan:
CYBERTRON = SEIBERTRON
AUTOBOT = CYBERTRON
What fun!

And, as I learned, it's pronounced:
Say-bur-tron
Not, S-eye-bur-tron.
And know you know.

Don't forget, the Japanese actually don't have the ability to make the "Cy" syllable. Hence the necessity for "Sei".

Well, I assume for "Cybertron" they say "Sai". Thus, the people are called "Saiburutorons" (or whatever...) while the planet is called "Seiburutoron" (or whatever...).
Interesting to note, "sei" I believe is added onto names in reference to planets or stars (like how "-san" can mean mountain, so "fuji-san" == mt. fuji // not to be confused with using -san in reference to people Ishida-san == "Mr. Ishida").
Thus, that might be a reason the planet is called Seibertron while the people are Saibertrons/Cybertrons. It's a play on words in Japanese. That's just a guess though.
Edited to clarify something

Learned that from the man incharge of the site, himself.
after a well deserved rant over hate-mail on the same topic.
(and even knowing that, i still pronounce it s-eye-bur-tron...habits)
