No, Rosetta doesn't run on Intel Macs. If you have a G5 or G4, 
though, you can run Rosetta. You can install OS 9 and run old 
software.  But wait, you say "PPC software."  What software do you 
have in  mind? For instance, lots of programs run on both PPC and on 
Intel machines, such as Office 2004. Are you talking about OS 9-only 
software?
