We have been successfully running our generic 10.5.6 build on all macs
including new unibody macbooks.

As for the Energy Saver prefs, you can use pacifist to grab the
EnergySaver.prefpane from a unibody Install DVD and add it to your old
image.  I'm crossing my fingers that 10.5.7 will update Energy Saver so
its consistent on all 10.5 machines.
