When Lion came out I changed _osx_version from a string to a float so that I could use < and > with it. Your .jhbuildrc-custom is from before that.
BTW, I also changed _osx_version so that it has the expected value rather than the offset-by-4 value of yore, so Tiger is now 4.x instead of "8*.
If you need to support pre-Lion Macs with your app, be sure to read the notes about using Xcode3 at
