You need 10.5 server. Apple doesn't allow desktop versions of OSX in a VM (I think 10.7 may be the first exception to this rule) and VM makers honor this. I may be able to sort out earlier OSX server versions somewhere for my own use, but I don't have the resources to make them accessible to others. I'll see about trying this today.
