The Yoko ORB code still generates 1.4 compatible code. Since the ORB doesn't have any direct dependencies on Geronimo, it probably can be maintained as just being dependent on 1.4. On the other hand, there are many times I wished I could use some of the stuff in 1.5 (such as the concurrency classes). Harmony is a 1.5 JDK, so 1.4 compatibility is not an issue for them. Yoko is used in the never released 1.2 Geronimo version too. I suspect that's going to remain in its never released state so I don't think Geronimo is an issue either. I can go either way on the JDK issue depending on what the consensus is.
I would LOVE to use JDK1.5. Maybe Yoko 2.0? There are plenty of backport paths so it's not like we would be abandoning JDK1.4.
