If you're at TPC this year, you'll hear me how explain how translators
*far* weirder than simply Perl 5 to Perl 6 are possible. :)

Briefly: We want the Perl 6 runtime to be an equivalent of the Microsoft
CLR, so that if you can somehow get bytecode onto it - from whatever
language - you can run it. So we've got some bytecode that perl can run. 
Now think about what B::Deparse does.
