Using my own developer certificate from Apple I can sign the app bundle that I create and so long as the user has Gatekeeper set to allow App Store AND Developer ID applications it works. There's no impact on Snow Leopard but I haven't yet tested it on Lion or Leopard (which will be PPC).

I've no problem using my own certificate for this but long term it might be nice to get one for the project.
