Is ESRI planning on adding support for FGDB's created in 9.x anytime soon?

No.  The simplification of the geodatabase storage model at 10.0 made it
possible to offer the FGDB API.  Supporting the earlier model would be
much more difficult.

I might add that "upgrading" a file geodatabase from 9 to 10 causes problems with the API.  The only free-and-clear migration path is to create a new 10.x file gdb and copy the datasets to it.

What problems are you seeing when you use an upgraded 9.x file geodatabase?
