What sort of problems are you having?  I don't think there is anything specific to a system version, it's more connected with what Qt version and type (carbon vs. cocoa).  Newer systems need Qt cocoa, definitely Lion does.

There are a few known issues, with bug reports and mentioned in my distribution readme (font selection, non-ascii chars in GRASS shell, max # open files).  A couple other recent issues I can think of: odd georeferencer window behavior, minimized globe plugin panel appears on top of upper-left corner toolbar.

Much of this probably has something to do with Qt cocoa.
