You can't. You can only mine if you have Snow Leopard or Lion.

EDIT: Ok, you could mine with your CPU, but it is not worth it. By this, I mean that you will earn something between 0BTC and 0.1BTC per month. It is a waste of electricity and time.

Your best bet is going to be by ditching OSX Tiger and going with a Linux OS.  But that is moot if it doesn't have at least a 5750 GPU in it.  Anything lower than that and it's going to cost more to keep it running than it makes.
