I (along with a bazillion other people) have been upgrading my Mac to snow leopard. As I used my Mac day to day I was quite nervous that some critical items wouldn't work. Fortunately I found an easy way to test.
I simply took an external hard disk and installed Snow Leopard onto there. I then booted off it (you hold the alt/option key) and tried my applications out.
I was lucky only one application - Juniper Network Connect had issues. I use this SSL VPN for work all the time so really needed it. Some googling later I discovered a number of people had a solution. However this solution relies on you having network connect already installed which my clean image didn't.
The though the browser install of network connect doesn't seem to work with Snow Leopard so I asked our sys admins (thanks) to let me have a copy of the installer (NetworkConnect.dmg) and then I installed that and then the fix above worked. I did hit one more glitch we use SSL certificates to authenticate the VPN snow leopard refuses to use the right certificate in Safari - however simply using Firefox got round that!

Or if you don't want to hassle your IT guy for the installer:
I found that the juniper client does download the Network Connect to your /tmp folder.
After it fails, you will find /tmp/NetworkConnectBinaries.pax
You can open the .pax file with "The Unarchiver", then modify the permissions and manually place the Network Connect files in their places.
