So as far as the GNU ELPA, you don't need to support anything differently from what you do now, and people using Emacs 23.x can install BBDB in other ways, e.g. through el-get. Based on experience with Gnus, I'd say supporting Emacs 23.x and XEmacs is already a lot of work, so don't support Emacs 22.
