No.

Either cross over or straight cables will work. All modern Macs have
autosensing Ethernet PHYs.
Do i need specific kernel versions to exist on both end ?
No. The kernel on the debugging machine is irrelevant.
And how about the Kernel Debug Kit ?
You should get the KDK that matches the system software on the target
machine. It's best if you update the target machine to the latest
system software (that is, 10.4.10) and use the KDK for that.
Sometimes the system software that's HappyMac'd at the factory is a
little weird (-:
I read somewhere on the mailing list, that the kernel version
shipped with the Apple Mac has a little version difference to adjust
to different hardware....
Yes. See my comment above.
than compared to the open-source version available on the Apple site.
Yes, there is a difference between the source used to build Mac OS X
kernels and the Darwin source. However, the changes a very small and
it is generally the case that you can build a kernel from the Darwin
source, slide it under a full Mac OS X, and everything will work just
fine. Folks do this every day.
