No, that's a bad idea.

No, you don't want to use Python 2.4 as scripts written using Python 2.5 have
features that 2.4 doesn't support so you can randomly break things on your Mac.
As Aditya stated, you want your BuildBot to set it's own PATH to find Python 2.4
before Python 2.5.
BTW, have you checked out using MacPorts for this? It supplies pieces of what
you need.
