Please read the 10.6 Foundation release notes, particularly the
section entitled "Formal protocol adoption":
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/releasenotes/Cocoa/Foundation.html

We compile dual-mode code using the following:

@interface Subclass : Superclass
#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6
<ConformingProtocol>
#endif

In the case of conformance to multiple protocols, some of which are
unavailable pre-10.6, we use this:

@interface Subclass : Superclass <Protocol1
#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6
,Protocol2
#endif
>

It's a mess, but it works, and the benefit of static type checking far
outweighs the cost.  (And it also motivates you to drop 10.5 support.
:D)
