I'm pretty sure they would be allowed to get by with just a resolution bump. I don't think most PS2->PS3-HD games have reworked textures. That would take half a forever and not be financially viable for most of the ports we've seen on the PS3, I think.

Now I'm no programmer, but I don't think it would be all that much work to tweak the game engine a bit to not rely on the extreme memory bandwidth of the PS2 (among a few other things), and re-compile it for the PS3.
