Does every Mac support Lion OpenGL 3.2?

I am writing a mac application that draws part of its user interface in NSOpenGLView using OpenGL with an obsolete profile.

My application is for OS X 10.7 and later.

If I upgrade to OpenGL 3.2, won't some users let Lion run, or does every Mac with Lion support OpenGL 3.2 anyway?

The OS X 10.7 SDK includes an OpenGL 3.2 Core profile, but actual runtime support requires a GPU and OpenGL 3.2 driver.
