We subscriped for developer connection and purchased XServer G5. Which was shipped with MAC OS X Server 10.3.9.
Few days back purchased Power Mac G5 and it was shipped with 10.4.2 OS ver.


It is possible to have 10.3.9 ver of OS on Power MAC G5 as I intend to develop device drivers for 10.3.9 and
do the testing on the same version of the OS.
As David Reed pointed out, when a Mac comes with a particular version of Mac OS X, installing anything earlier on that Mac isn't supported:

You should use older hardware for testing your software with older versions of Mac OS X.

You can also build your software for older versions of Mac OS X using the latest Xcode Tools. See topics related to "cross-development" in the online documentation. Specifically, you'll probably want to install the Mac OS X SDK for the most recent version of Mac OS X whose features you want to take advantage of and use it in your targets, and set the Mac OS X Deployment Target for your targets to the earliest version of Mac OS X on which you want them to run.
