As David pointed out in the comments, you will not be able to submit any application to the App Store using that version of XCode.
Apple is probably pushing developers to use recent versions because it wants to avoid the hassle of having to maintain an indefinite number of legacy versions of its development tools. The same no doubt applies to OS X.
10.5.8 is extremely dated by today's standards and XCode has improved by leaps and bounds since 4.0, let alone 3.1.1. Fewer bugs, fewer crashes, a better UI, newer versions of LLVM, Clang, Objective-C itself, the iOS SDK... everything, practically. By sticking with OS X 10.5.8 and XCode 3.1.1, you are seriously impacting your ability to keep up with the latest in Apple technologies to say the least.
