The challenge is to make the Kingdom of Jerusalem survive until the Napoleonic Wars, (In which Napoleon takes over the Kingdom during the Egyptian Campaign)

1. Butterflies! Dear God the Butterflies!

2. the king converts to Islam and is left as a nominally independent vassal? Resurgent Byzatine Empire? although that would change geo-politics so much that the chance of the French revolution going as OTL is almost nil.

Well what if the kingdom of Cyprus becomes part of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Then When the "Holy" city falls the King flees to Cyprus keeping the name and also retaining the claim on Jerusalem. Cyprus (Kingdom of Jerusalem) SOMEHOW is able to remain independent and it really wont have a real big butterfly effect unless your the most adherent butterflist
 
The Kingdom could just survive as a rump state with Acre possibly, as it was near the end of its existence. However, who would be the patron and protector is hard to say unless the collapse of Byzantium unfolds differently.

You do realize that the ramifications of a surviving Kingdom of Jerusalem probably removes napoleon from history?

Anyways, best I can come up with is that it survives as a buffer state between Egypt and whoever wins out in Asia Minor (byzantines or turks). Either needs long-term, major support from europe (probably not going to happen), or the ruling elite has to integrate itself somehow with the rest of the population to avoid annialation.
