Technically the best solution would be to introduce a stable tree also to OpenBIOS like Qemu. But OpenBIOS development is not as fast paced as Qemu, so I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.
I can commit the latest version to Qemu SVN and if there are no issues, update the version in stable before release.
It's your call.
For bochs, we have a patch queue built in pc-bios. For stable, I'd add individual patches that fix issues if they came up. I generally wouldn't update to a newer bochs SVN though b/c bochs has a bad habit of breaking things upstream.
So two options would be to include a new OpenBIOS version or just apply the patches that you think are important.
