Configuring and Compiling a BSD program against 10.2 Developer on 10.3

I know this is not strictly cocoa, but it is also not structly Darwin
as I am talking about the Mac OS X 10.3 situation and not just Darwin.

I keep a 10.2 installation around to configure and compile open source
stuff that needs to run on both 10.2 and 10.3 systems. I would like to
do without that system and just run 10.3 (and 10.4 for testing) in the
future. I recall that in the past my experiences of doing 10.2 based
configures (e.g. autoconf based stuff) and compiles on 10.3 were not
succesful, so I kept the 10.2 system. But maybe my information is out
of date.

So my question, suppose I download a BSD tool and I want to
configure/make it as if I were on 10.2. Can I do that on 10.3 these
days?

Thanks,

G
