Wouldn't the Intel Mac (10.5.x) be an Intel only version of the OS excluding the PowerPC iMac from booting from it on the external hard drive?

10.5 is a universal (PPC/Intel) operating system.

If it's an APM-partitioned drive and you've got a Leopard volume on it then both the Intel and PPC Mac can boot from it.
