Booted under Lion that was on an external disk, I was able to user Xcode 3.2.6 
from my internal Snow Leopard startup disk and it seemed to work fine. But when 
I tried to initially install it under Lion, it wouldn't work. So, it seems that 
if you get it installed before booting under Lion, you are able to use it.
