I don't have the time, but I would really like to hear it too if 
someone puts some time into this. I think that setting the appropriate 
environment variables should do the trick.

What I can offer is a suggestion on how to test this:
1. Build Python from source, on Panther, with a normal configure 
--enable-framework/make frameworkinstall.
2. Ship this build to a Jaguar machine. It shouldn't work.
3. Redo the build (don't forget make clean), but now with the 
cross-development environment variables set.
4. Ship this build to a jaguar machine, it should now work.
