How would you go about cutting a notch in a regular 2x4 stud
across the grain, so that the notch is 1.5" into the grain
and 3.5" along it? (i.e. to embed one 2x4 crosswise into
another).
I guess a jigsaw could be used but it seems that there's
got to be a better way. What tool should be used to make
this cut?

What about a hand saw?
A couple of cuts at each end and one or two at most in the middle and
you can knocke the chunks out...clean up a little w/ a chisel and you're
down by the time you can get the circular saw out and the depth set...
