As far I know coreboot can add more stuff such as acpi tables to cbfs at runtime and seabios able to access cbfs too and pull informations from coreboot that way.
Only a minor correction - cbfs is the flash image, which so far doesn't really change at runtime. Stuff added at runtime goes into "coreboot tables" which is a coreboot-specified data structure which SeaBIOS finds and uses to know things like the memory map.
When using coreboot+SeaBIOS on real hardware, ACPI tables are built and put in place by coreboot, and never modified by SeaBIOS AFAIK.
