I personally usually builds sage for Gentoo Linux x86, there are a number of people who do so and on amd64 as well and I regularly build on ppc. So I would put that in the expected to work category. You could mention on that page that Mandriva and Gentoo have sage package available. In the case of Gentoo it is in an experimental repo but we are following closely (usually package are updated within 24 hours of a release). Funtoo, a Gentoo derivative, seems to include us as well. I don't know about other distro.
