Other planets could be handled when arbitrary SRID values are allowed. So, it's an obvious extension, but one which someone is going to probably have to step up and fund. However, even with the current version, you could support Mars or Venus at compile time, easily enough, by altering the constants for major- and semi-major- axis before building PostGIS.
