Does anyone know if we'll see carbonized versions of the following programs in the near future?
Adobe GoLive

Adobe hasn't said anything that I know of. Wait for macWorld in January and see what pops up.

a pre-alpha demo of photoshop was one of the first Carbonized programs demonstrated way back at OS X's official coming out party. I would think it is logical to assume that getting this one carbonized is one of apple's top priorities.
Haven't heard a peep about GoLive or InDesign, but Adobe would certainly be smart to release both asap. Quark seems to be stuck in a no-grow mode and this might be a good opportunity for InDesign to grab some market share. Getting GoLive up and running might steal some thunder from Dreamweaver.... but who knows. OS X will not have a decent installed base for quite some time and it might just not be worth the effort yet....

That's the nasty little circle isn't it ... no apps = no user base ... no user base = no apps ...
However, if those three apps were carbonized I could switch permanently today and never have to use Classic again.

Apple and Adobe are TIGHT . . . I would expect it to be out when X final is out.

Don't forget Illustrator 
Yeah I also read (possibly at Quark Forums) That they're not looking into an OSX carbonized version yet.
I'm not certain how the printing/publishing market is going to react to OSX. Most of us are still relying on QuarkXPress, and realistically speaking, will be for years to come.
I'm still wondering why I've yet to receive any InDesign file format files at work, if it's catching on like I hear where the heck is it? I did have the brief chance to demo it a while back at home, and I gotta say it's a vast improvement to thier previous effort "PageMaker" UI-wise (shudder). I never had the chance to test drive it in a real work environment situation however, and have only heard that it's not all it's cracked-up to be yet.

limbotron is right, Adobe did show a very early Carbon version of Photoshop 5 when OS X was first shown almost 2 years ago.
Also, this past year Adobe showed a Carbon version of InDesign at the World Wide Developers conference back in May. They said it only took them 2 weeks to Carbonize it.
You can expect announcements from Adobe and a few others when OS X 1.0 is announced. As to when they will ship we don't really know. Adobe has said publicly that they will have Carbon versions of most of their apps "the day" OS X ships. Since the OS X beta and subsequent releases do not yet have a "final" version of Carbon it remains to be seen just how far Adobe and others have managed to get. Remember many companies are not Carbonizing until its final.
I'm worried about the chicken and egg therory of OS X. Not to mention there's a lot missing in there to make it a complete replacement for OS 9. Let's hope Apple has done a LOT of work in OS X since the PB...
