I don't know how the current version check works but is this any use?

http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=13

 From the page :

"I describe a better solution, using a boot-strapping executable to  
check the OS version, and only load the real application if the  
minimum OS version is satisfied. If not, an informative alert is  
presented to the user. It works with Universal Binaries, Carbon and  
Cocoa, and all the way back to Mac OS X 10.0, and it doesn’t depend  
on the buggy LSMinimumSystemVersion feature from Apple."

The sample code is BSD license ...
