I haven't seen anything from any of the orbiters yet but here's a shot from Opportunity taken about 3am local Mars time. The comet was at about 400,000kms when this shot was taken.

Here's an image from Curiosity but doesn't look like the comet is visible, perhaps more will be revealed when raw images are available:

If anyone's interested there's a thread on UMSF about MER and MSL observations of Siding Spring here:
