Can I swap an LCD between different laptop generations? I have a pair of old laptops:


15" PowerBook G4 (Aluminum) with various issues, but a working screen
15" MacBook Pro (2007) with a broken screen, but otherwise fine


Can the PowerBook screen be transplanted into the MacBook body? 
If so, does it require: Mac-specific tools? Additional parts? Custom driver? Soldering?
No the parts are not compatible nor are the cabling and mount points.

See http://ifixit.com for take apart manuals and possibly repair parts for your broken LCD on the MacBook Pro.
