Unfortunately no. NXT-G is currently a PPC app so it has to run under rosetta.
Bluetooth is unavailable to apps running under rosetta. You can connect to it
via bluetooth outside of NXT-G though if you write a program to communicate with
it directly.
I was at the Second Life Big Robot on Campus event and asked them when/if they
will be releasing a Universal binary of NXT-G. They said "sometime later this
year". So who knows.
