There is 2 thing to consider. The system must know how to reserve memory on each thread to store the thread local variable (the part Lion implements), which is enough to use TLS with simple C construct.
The second part is to support invocation of initialization/cleanup functions for TLS values each time a thread is created/destroyed. This part is require to support C++ object with a constructor/destructor.  I didn't dig in the dyld / libc / kernel sources for OS X.8, but I don't think it support it yet.
