Not going to happen. It's not just the processor - there are other changes to the system. Even 10.4.11 doesn't have the right drivers for that hardware. It won't boot anything earlier than 10.5.2 (9C2018).
To clarify - there might be a hack that lets an older OS boot on that hardware. But I *strongly* don't recommend doing it.
The minimum recommended/required system contains the drivers and *power manager* changes required by that hardware. The wrong power manager code, or worse - a power manager and firmware mismatch, could end up frying your laptop. It's just not worth the risk, IMO.
