Well, I've already looked at this. AFAIK no magic there:
from tex/latex/pscyr/pscyr.sty:

\def\codefault{fco}
\DeclareRobustCommand\cofamily
         {\not@math@alphabet\rmfamily\mathrm
          \fontfamily\codefault\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textco}{\cofamily}

there is also definition of bold math mode and
\renewcommand{\hbar}{{\mathchar'26\mkern-8.5muh}}

from tex/latex/pscyr/t2afco.fd:

\DeclareFontFamily{T2A}{fco}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T2A}{fco}{m}{it}{<-> fcori6t}{}

from fonts/map/dvips/pscyr/pscyr.map:

fcori6a  CollegePSCyr-Italic "T2AEncoding ReEncodeFont" <t2a.enc 
      <colle8.pfb

Encoding file fonts/enc/dvips/pscyr/t2a.enc, but pdftex ignores 
ReEncodeFont, as stated in documentation.

Hope this helps.
