Scott,
Yes, it's hard to guarantee kernel extension compatibility across OS
revisions. Most that I've seen work, but certainly not all.
Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that just setting the compiler to
gcc 3.1 will provide backward compatibility with 10.2 when it comes to
kernel extensions. It's not something that the development team has
tested, nor was it a goal for Xcode 1.0.
I understand the productivity gains, however, and have submitted a
feature request for this functionality.
best,
Godfrey

Interesting; in the several kernel extensions I've written/worked on,
building on 10.1.x caused them not to work in 10.2 which required us
to recompile under 10.2. Luckily we're no longer moving forward with
10.1.x support; everything we've compiled under 10.2 has been working
fine under 10.3.
On a related note, if I set gcc to 3.1 under XCode, should the kernel
extensions work under 10.2? I realize that this probably isn't
recommended, but it speeds development for me to build on one OS
release.
