It would be nice if this was back-ported to Leopard (so you could use GCD without the application being Snow Leopard only), I wonder how difficult this would be..

More than $29 worth of difficult. That's for sure.

http://code.google.com/p/plblocks/ is probably the place to start.

Without special kernel support, you could probably, at the very least, get a thread pool that was local to the process. That might be worth it.

IIRC, you already have libraries for thread pools on Leopard. Core Foundation would be where I'd start looking.
