All of our code ported to Intel pretty quickly (after all, some of it originally ran on Intel under NEXTSTEP), but Apple's JavaScriptCore and WebCore frameworks had a bunch of C++ code which needed to be ported to work with the latest version of the compiler, gcc 4 (which is required for Universal builds). We decided to just focus on getting the new version working rather than on trying to port the old WebCore framework to gcc 4.
(Apple has ported WebCore to gcc 4, of course, but that's in much newer versions of WebCore than we were using in 5.1—and updating to that newer code base was already the focus of 5.5.)
