This is unfortunate, but seems to be a known problem. Similarly,  
binaries built on 10.4 generally don't run on 10.3.

The Mac port contains a lot of code to support ancient systems /  
system APIs like MacOS 8/9, apparently even without CarbonLib (never  
tried, though), but there is pretty much no binary compatibility  
between OS versions for Emacs.

Have you tried setting the environment variable  
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 ?
E.g.

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 ./make-package (...)

I heard that helps you build binaries that run on all 10.4 versions.
