How are you building all the dependencies?  Are you using fink?  
macports? by hand?

If you build against the 10.4u SDK, it will work on 10.4, 10.5, and  
any version from http://xquartz.macosforge.org.

If you build against 10.5 SDK, it will not work on 10.4, but will work  
on any version of 10.5.x and any version from http://xquartz.macosforge.org

If you build against the system version installed with 10.5.x, it will  
not be guaranteed to work on versions of OSX less than 10.5.x (meaning  
if you build with 10.5.5, it won't be guaranteed to work on 10.5.4).

If you build against the system version after installing an update, it  
will not be guaranteed to work on earlier versions of the update.

This is the whole reason for providing the /Developer/SDKs/...
