Mac OS X hardware support is tied to "systems" and overall driver support. The megahertz rating is a convenient description to end users, who can find that out from About This Mac.
If you're going to spend money to upgrade your system with an add-in processor, you should consider buying a faster used machine.
This message doesn't really have anything to do with development of the Darwin kernel.

I'd like to install 10.5 on a Dual G4 that is 450 MHz. It won't let me and the instructions say it must be a G4 at 867 MHz or faster. Why should that matter? (Or can I put in a faster clock?) Is there a way around this limitation??
What if I try installing from a faster machine over the firewire using the G4 as a Target?
