This is certainly a step in the right direction but I get the error:

Can't get ProductVersion of {|ProductUserVisibleVersion|:"10.4.11",|ProductCopyright...}.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Aha!

In Tiger, you need pipes around the record item names. Like this ...

tell application "System Events" to set systemRecord to (value of property list file systemFile)
set sysVersion to (|ProductVersion| of systemRecord)
set buildNr to (|ProductBuildVersion| of systemRecord)
display dialog "Mac OS X version " & sysVersion & " (" & buildNr & ")" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end open

Now, it works with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
