Give the following a try, I'm not sure if it can do the trick or not as most "Screen Capture" utilities can only capture what the screen displays...

If the screen is only at 72 dpi, taking screen shots at a higher resolution is pointless. You can just scale them up yourself afterwards, if you need to to, but you'll lose quality of course.
One thing you can try is using the OS' built in zoom feature to zoom in on part of the screen and take a snapshot of that. Again you will lose quality, but it will be anti-aliased instead of pixelated, which may look better, depending on your point of view.

Well you would just do that in Photoshop.
If you want smooth-text screenshots, as in what Apple uses on its software boxes and manuals, you'll have to do what Apple does: draw them all over again in Illustrator.

If you're affluent enough to be able to afford photoshop, or could be bothered installing an alternative for this one use. 
I'd just let Quartz do it for me... after all, it's built in (so long as you don't need the entire screen at once).

Apple really does this? What a pain in the butt!
Speaking about Illustrator... they need to get all the bugs out and release a nice version for OS X! :-D

Yep. All of their "high-resolution screenshots" are actually mockups.
Of course, it looks like they're trying to switch to a resolution-independent GUI in Tiger, so if they do that right, maybe they won't need to mock it up anymore.
