I'd like to support Russell's point: this could put a burden on everyone
releasing extension modules to also provide two binary releases, which
e.g. would then mess up downloads from PyPI. So -1.
+0 on dropping 10.6 support from the binary installers as proposed
by Greg.
Dropping support for 10.6 isn't really necessary, just build (carefully) on a later release of OSX (preferably the last one to pick up the most recent developer tools).
I'll try to provide a more detailed response tonight, but the basic idea is to use OSX 10.8, the current Xcode release and the OSX 10.8 SDK to do the build. This is a supported configuration for building binaries that target older OSX releases, but some care is needed with the configure script for 3th-party libraries: those might pick up features that aren't available in 10.6.
