To an extent yes. However I see no reason that someone cant trick the newer versions of Firefox to install on 10.4.
It will be possible, of course, to take specific patches out of the trunk (Minefield) and wedge them back into the 3.6 fork, even after Mozilla drops support for 3.6. (That's essentially what's being done with Classilla, for OS 9). I'm sure the Mozilla Foundation would welcome such development. It is open-source, after all.
But I seriously doubt you'll be able to get the trunk itself to work on Tiger without a monumental programming effort. It already requires the newer compilers - that don't even run on Tiger. And it needs the newer frameworks, that only exist in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
