OSX universal binaries just have both x86 and PPC binaries packed into one file, that's all. (You can actually get tools to strip out whichever one you don't need to save space.) Intel OSX did have a dynamically-recompiling emulator called
Rosetta for running non-universal PPC software, but quit providing it by default in 10.6 and cut support altogether in 10.7 onwards.
