Major distros get certifications on IBM platforms (as Red Hat did recently - http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/34501.html), IBM works with them as partners, etc, but IBM has never "preferred" SuSE or Red Hat or anything else. You should also distinguish between officially supporting IBM products on this or that platform (check on a case-by-case basis, I would not be surprised if Red Hat and SuSE scored better than other distros based on this criterion, after all they produce "advanced servers" and "enterprise editions") and providing general support services to customers. I imagine IGS (IBM Global Services) will support Mandrake if paid well enough.
