It can depend on how much code you have that is toll-free bridging
CFSomething and NSSomething.

Nope. 10.6.
Regarding the things you forget to mention is GateKeeper v2. AFAIK,
this requires to build (or at least codesign) on OS X 10.9.5 or
later.
If your build system is your development system, then this imposes a
minimum Xcode version and so a minimum SDK version. IMHO, it's easier
to develop with a OS SDK version that is close to the target OS
deployment version. With 10.9.5, you probably need Xcode 5 or later,
which could mean a 10.7 SDK or later. So if you're targeting 10.5 or
10.6 compatibility, you may end up with some surprises during
development and testing regarding the available APIs.
