I've backported the Python 2.5 svn version of mmap to 2.4 and added it 
as multiprocessing._mmap25. The port is just a proof of concept and most 
like contains issues with ssize_t -> long transitions. But it's working.

With the latest svn checkout all tests are passing for 2.4.5, 2.5.2 and 
2.6.0 on my 64bit Ubuntu box. Somebody needs to test it on Windows, 
32bit Linux and BSD.
