Yes it does, from the readme:
Q. Should I remove the non-Intel architectures on my Intel based Mac?
A. You can use Monolingual to remove non-Intel architectures for your
installed applications (even if some of the applications are PowerPC-
only; Monolingual is smart enough not to remove PPC forks if those are
the only ones in the universal binary). However, you should not strip
the System frameworks if you want to use Rosetta. Rosetta needs the
PowerPC code for all frameworks used by the emulated application and
if it can't find it, you may see messages such as the following in the
console:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa:
mach-o, but wrong architecture
