Haven't Apple removed Rosetta Stone from OS X with the release of
Lion. All applications are now supposed to be Intel-native. The LyX
installed on my Snow Leopard system produces this output from file

nowhere:~ trevor$ file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx: Mach-O universal binary with
2 architectures
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx (for architecture
ppc7400):       Mach-O executable ppc
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx (for architecture
i386):  Mach-O executable i386

so there's still PPC code bound into the image.
