Not sure what you mean by "capable of running tiger". If you have a

capable of running Leopard, it should be able to run tiger.
Not true. In general, any Mac requires the latest OS available at the
time it was released. So machines released after the release of
Leopard usually require Leopard.
Not in general. No Mac is supported to run any version of the Mac OS
earlier than the version it officially shipped with.
If your Mac officially shipped with 10.5.4 it is unsupported to run
10.5.3 or earlier. Period.
If you do not know, and you may not, call AppleCare, provide the
serial number of the Mac, they can tell you precisely which version it
originally shipped with and that will be the earliest version you can
reliably run on that computer.
Although in some cases you may successfully boot and run some earlier
version, it is unsupported, meaning it would not be a good test
environment.
Any Mac that runs Tiger well, will be more than adequate for most
Tiger development. (exceptions would be targeting higher or lower end
hardware)
