Comment (by azaozz):

 Should (could?) this be handled by the updates API? Seems a better idea
 than trying to backport it. Then all sites running older versions of WP
 will be covered, instantly.

 Of course the users on older WP versions should see a notice if they
 cannot update a theme or a plugin because of old/unsupported PHP version.
 They won't be able to update core either. On the other hand wondering how
 "annoying" these notices may become in cases where it is not possible to
 update the PHP version...
