Hi Severin, Though I have since upgraded, I initially had an installation of Snow Leopard on a Mac mini solely for running Photoshop CS2. Yes older versions of Photoshop and Lightroom do rely on Rosetta. Your friend could dedicate a previous Mac to running Snow Leopard and Photoshop, or run them on a bootable partition, an external drive, or even within his current Lion installation on a Parallels virtual machine.
Of course if none of these options are suitable he may have to face the trauma of a downgrade of the OS or an upgrade of Photoshop. He may find an older version of photoshop on eBay.
