The x86 frameworks/libraries are included with Xcode, so possibly everything else could run natively, just have the app itself emulated. Anyway, I ask myself if this is useful at all?! Apple introduced Universal Binaries along with XCode 2.1, so Intel OS X apps will run on PPC, too, if they are Universal Binary formatted. This does make sense for almost all apps, cause not all macusers can afford an Intel Mac as soon as they are released and software vendors want to earn money!
