I have suspend to ram working on M3N78-VM and FC10. I did not really  
have to do anything special. The only thing that causes problems is if  
you are on the watch recordings screen and it is suspended, when it  
resumes the network is not ready sometimes and mythtv hangs with a  
long timeout trying to talk to the backend (different box).
