Ps2 Backwards Compatibility program on the ps3?

May be...

I'm not sure, but i think I may have seen a program in PSN that enables backwards compatibility to the ps3s that aren't backwards compatible at purchase?

No, there is no such thing. What you saw is a little add-on for old (4 USBs, chrome trim) 80GB version (it already has backwards compatibility). That patch just improves everything a bit and expands a number of compatible PS2 games, it won't work on newer consoles.
