Nope, no way at all.
The PowerMac runs on PowerPC, whereas the MacBook runs on Intel - different types of processor which aren't compatible. OS X was completely re-coded for Intel, Apple did it so seamlessly that you didn't notice ![Stick Out Tongue](http://forums.macnn.com/images/smilies/oldschool/tongue.gif)

It wasn't completely recoded, it was coded in parallel and in secret from day one. But the point remains. Find a retail copy of Tiger.
