How about you simply run this command
do shell script "sw_vers -productVersion"
This will return a string that is the current version of OS X. This seems to work on all versions of OS X that I have worked on (even back to 10.3)

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.
