Not quite.

It's eexec that Rich is referring to (note the e in front of eexec), but the
question was about cexec (again, note the c ...) that allows to download
machine code to the PostScript interpreter (68000 code, portable, huh?).

It is described in some Adobe developers packet which I'm not having access
to, so could somebody with some more witness about it give some highlighting
information about cexec? (Of course, without violating some license agreement
with Adobe :-) )
