You can, however OS updates will likely overwrite the installation
and you'll have to re-install the newer CUPS. We're working with
Apple to "fix" this in Tiger, however it will still be an issue for
older MacOS X releases.
Also, I do no recommend requiring a newer version of CUPS unless you
are prepared to provide support for it and all of the potential
problems it could cause.

1.1.21 will come out much earlier than Tiger, and we'll probably be
into the 1.2 release series by then...
