no, they will not. if you read apples conversion guide you will see that even os x x86 will be partly big endian, for what stupid reason ever. so their will be less endianess problems, but they sure don't disapear.
plus, if windows will truly run on x86 macs i expect much fewer os x ports of games.

"As for games, well, that's one big reason Apple is shifting to Intel... that's where the video drivers are."
Not only video drivers. There are a number of issues when porting a game optmized for a little-endian platform (x86) to a big-endian platform (PPC). Those issues will disappear when Apple has gone over to Intel.
