Do I need to build separate executables, selecting the relevant SDK for each?

No. There were a few backward compatibility bugs between Tiger and Leopard in the past (e.g. HIShape), but they were fixed.


Or is there some way to build a single app that runs on both and if so are there any drawbacks to doing this?


Just build the app against the old SDK. As long as you don't accidentally exploit some buggy behavior in Tiger that was fixed in Leopard (which happened to me once), or depend too much on undocumented methods, then you should have no problems with forward compatibility.
