Is there any recourse for developers that have 32 bit MACs therefor we cant install Java 1.6? Since Android support started with 9.3 it seems to require java 1.6. Will you be releasing something that works with 1.5 or is there an alternative that I can install to help me run it.
I've hear of this thing called SoyLatte that emulates java 1.6 on 32 bit MACs, but haven't tried it yet.

As you noted, SoyLatte is probably your best bet at this moment: http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/static/soylatte/
I have been working on this issue all day. It seems that 1.6 is installed on 32bit Macs, but not actually used. The following terminal commands should get you running.
sudo rm /usr/bin/java
sudo rm /usr/bin/javac
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/java /usr/bin/java
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/javac /usr/bin/javac
The above answered messed up the formatting of the commands (Can we get a preview, guys?). Lets see if this works better:
sudo rm /usr/bin/java
sudo rm /usr/bin/javac
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/java /usr/bin/java
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/javac /usr/bin/javac
