"By now you have probably figured out that we aren't releasing Universal Binaries of our current application versions. If you haven't, all you need to know is pretty explicitly spelled out here [.pdf]. 'But, c'mon', I hear people saying, 'Steve said it was just a recompile!' Or, 'Back during the PowerPC transition, you guys released a patch!' Well, this time is different. And I really wish it weren't."

The engineer mentioned that Rosetta only translates PPC code into x86 code. Unlike the 68k to PPC transition, there is no hooks or handles that allows an application to run modular code native to the architecture.
So, even in the 68k to PPC transition, Adobe is able to use modules that run PPC native code to provide performance increase whereas in the Rosetta case i'ts either PPC or x86.
Yeah, if that's the case I would be looking at CS3 rather than porting CS2.
