It's pretty certain that they won't even support Classic on the Intel

The emulators around now all work best on ppc, no surprise there -
much faster. Classic support will suffer alittle, there is alot for
apple to draw on and Rosetta must go a fair distance to do whats
claimed which should be good for emulation over all.
Rosetta doesn't emulate the hardware down to the devices, it works in
cooperation with the application, switching out of the emulation at the
system call and possibly framework level. You won't be able to boot OS
9.2.2 under it, so you won't be able to run Classic applications on OS
X86 at all:
In

universal_binary/universal_binary_exec_a/chapter_7_section_2.html -
Rosetta does not run the following:
* Applications built for Mac OS 8 or 9
* The Classic environment
* Code written specifically for AltiVec
* Code that inserts preferences in the System Preferences pane
* Applications that require a G4 or G5 processor
* Applications that depend on one or more kernel extensions
* Kernel extensions
* Bundled Java applications or Java applications with JNI
libraries that can't be translated
