So, I guess the next question is: is it possible to have two versions of 
Mac OS X on one machine? My primary development box is a PowerBook. 
Would it be possible to keep 10.3 on an external firewire drive and boot 
from that when I need to produce my builds?

(Sorry for the fairly basic question there, but I haven't had to do that 
kind of thing on a Mac before...)

Makes sense. I should've guessed that anything in C that links to OS 
libraries would not drop down to 10.3 easily.
