You could probably change the seal in the upper oil pan with the engine in place (more or less - perhaps a bit of lifting so the oil pan clears the cross member and the engine shocks). But if it was the whole seal - well wow I'd like to see that!
I bet they did something really clever like removing the upper oil pan and then spinning the engine up to 30,000 RPM - watch the old seal squeal and jump out whilst carefully feeding in the new one - whilst keeping all their fingers... it must have been magic...
