Tiger's X11 is based on XFree86; Leopard's is based on X.org.  I think X.org
may have switched to /usr/X11 as the installation directory from /usr/X11R6.

Tiger has libfontconfig.1.0 as its libfontconfig; Leopard has a later version
(I remember having troubles with later versions of, as I remember, Pango on
Tiger because libfontconfig was too old and lacked some necessary APIs).

This might make it difficult to build binaries that work on Tiger and Leopard. 
It *might* be possible to build with the 10.4 SDK - and, if we build the
libraries with the 10.4 SDK, they might be configured so that, for example,
pkg-config for GTK+ reports that the X11 libraries live under /usr/X11R6.

(The *really* fun part would be trying to build fat binaries.  One problem is
that, for example, the GLib configure script sets up a header file to indicate
whether the platform is big-endian or little-endian, so you need different
header files to build for PPC and x86.  Similar problems exist with 32-bit vs.
64-bit.)
