Yes, version 1 superblock support is in 2.6.13. You need the latest mdadm as well.
2) Does the version 1 you refer to have to do with pre-2.6 RAID support?
No. 2.4 kernels do not understand version 1 superblocks. They only support 0.90 superblocks (which is what you've got).
3) My existing RAID was original set up under 2.4.18 on PPC, but I'm running 2.6.11 now and it works fine... for now. If metadata was previously stored in host endian, does that mean that my existing RAID that was set up on PPC is going to break, or be upgraded, or what?
You'll have to re-create the array using the version 1 superblock format. The existing 0.90 superblocks will continue to be used until you've done that.
