Presently, I've got some issues with some core packages I'ld like to get resolved :-)
Snow Leopard is officially a legacy platform, meaning base still runs on it but you should not have an expectation that issues in ports will necessarily be fixed.
It's entirely up to the individual maintainer, but my experience is that a fair number will still work on issues affecting 10.6 (in fact more than 10.7). 32-bit processors, less so.
It always helps a lot if you can debug the issue yourself and supply a patch -- it's very rare that such a fix will be rejected as long as it looks sane and doesn't affect the supported platforms. :-)
