For 2.5.x I used to following procedure.

Requirements:

* An Intel Mac running 10.4.x

* Have the latest version of XCode for Tiger systems installed

* Have Tcl/Tk for OSX installed
   (Needed to make it possible for people to use a newer Tcl/Tk with  
Tkinter and IDLE
    without rebuilding _tkinter themselves. The version of _tkinter  
that's installed
    by this procedure also works when Tcl/Tk is not installed on a  
user's machine).

* Make sure /opt/local and /sw do not exist, to avoid contaminating  
the build with  DarwinPorts/Fink bits

* Use the script in Mac/BuildScript to actually build the installer DMG
    This will download a number of components (such as sleepycat DB),  
builds all required software
     and assembles the installer.

I used to test the installer on a 10.3.9 PPC system, a 10.4 system and  
a 10.5 system.
