I just got done doing this on a WallStreet 300 512. I would just go with the XPostFacto and Tiger right out of the gate. I did like you want and started with 10.2.8 but by the time the sun went down I had 10.4.11 and 9.2.2 on the first 7.7 GB partition and 9.2.2 on a second partition just for laughs, it really doesn't need the extra OS9 partition but it made me feel better about it because this was my first XPostFacto attempt, what a piece of cake:) The 9.2.2 can be just a finder copy but CCC makes it easy.
