Not everything works with PHP 5.3 (Mantis, which is also packaged as an opencsw project, the developers say they are still testing with 5.3) and 5.2 is still well-supported.

Our group would also like to see the 5.3 upgrade, specifically for its improved garbage collection. We're having memory leak problems at the moment, which are reported as fixed from 5.2.9 to 5.3.x

Please use at least 5.3.6.
Cf http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2011-January/000094.html [^]
Versions of 5.3 prior to 5.3.5 suffer from CVE-2010-4645
