Can you install leopard on a mac?

Yes, but doing it using the alternate methods will mean the OS install is configured to the host computer and not the target.
Not too big a deal if the machines are similar chipsets.
But we cannot tell you how to do it without getting the thread closed.

Not legal to do.
The DVD is for the system it came with, it is NOT a multi-system disk. You can buy family pack upgrades for Leopard, but that is not what you are asking. Sensibly, people are not going to tell you how, or if, it can be done.

The easiest way to find out is to put the Restore disc in. When you try to install it, it will give you an error message saying that it can't be done.
