The installer still wont run, I believe it won't run because it is already a 10.4 server PPC and the installer will only upgrade either 10.4 clients or 10.3 server.

Delete the following file and try the install again:
/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist

I did try to install the individual packages

That probably wasn't a good idea.

BSD.pkg and BaseSystem.pkg then ran the 10.4.8 universal updater
the computer boots then kernel panics with "unable to find driver for this platform "ACPI" "

I tried running OSInstall.mpkg but that wont run either...

Any ideas as to what component(s) are missing?

I was trying to switch from a older G4 1Ghz DP running 10.4.8 Server to a Intel Mac.
I was hoping I could just clone the G4's hard drive to the new Intel machine then just run the universal 10.4.7 server installer to get the Intel binaries installed.
OS X server won't let me run the installer because the machine is running a newer version of OS X. Is there a way to upgrade the server this way?
I didn't want to migrate everything because we are running upgraded versions of mySQL, PHP, Spam Assassin etc that I would have to be reconfigured.

Edit the following two files with pico and change the versions to 10.4.6 then run the 10.4.7 server installer.
/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

More than likely (depending on how you updated it will depend on what you need to do) you will have to reinstall your updated SpamAssassin.

If you configured CPAN properly you can probably get away with a couple of terminal commands to re-install it.

something like the following should work:
su; # become root
cd ~/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7
make
make install
