Unfortunately not. For the purposes of libata, and also for the 2.4.x
kernel series in general, it is in strict maintenance mode, with only
severe bug fixes being addressed.
If you, or others, wanted to backport the current libata to 2.4.x, you
would certainly have my blessing. I just don't have time for 2.4.x at
all, particularly as recent libata changes have made the backport more
difficult than it was in the past.
