You won't get one. But between you and me, I would say it is highly unlikely, since they'd kill MS Office support if they did that, and Office is one of the two or three most important third-party apps on OS X.

Leopard came out in 2007. You've had five years to make the transition, and you will most likely get several more before they pull the plug. Out of curiosity, what's the hold-up? I ported a rather large code base to 64-bit in a day or two, and the only hard part was porting some code that used the Sequence Grabber over to the newer QTCapture classes.
