Only by developing and compiling on the 2.x machine and using that binary on  
the 3.0 machine.  If you do this, however, you won't get to use the new IB and  
all the neat new 3.0 stuff including 3DKit and DBKit.

The best solution (also the most costly but with the most rewards) is to get  
all of your machines up to the latest (3.0) and use 3.0 to the fullest.
