There's a JBIG2 encoder here: https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc  Since it 
uses Leptonica for some of its internal operations, adding it to Leptonica 
might be a little cyclical (or require some restructuring).

While Jeff obviously has more experience than I, it seems like it should be 
a straightforward integration.  Non-trivial to be sure, but certainly 
doable.  The PDF output module already supports multiple encodings, 
including the 1-bit G4, so it *seems* like it should mainly be a matter of 
filtering/transforming the segments in the JBIG2 stream and creating stream 
for the global symbols, if needed.

Jeff - are there particular troublespots that you foresee if someone were 
to tackle this?
